The Hot Coffee mod allowed gamers to access a hidden mini-game in Rockstar's GTA: San Andreas, and view scenes of a sexual nature which would have been deemed inappropriate for the Mature rating that the game initially received. He claims that Rockstar and Take-Two deliberately misled the Entertainment Software Ratings Board by not disclosing the hidden content, stating that the firms 'engaged in unfair business practices by hiding pornographic material in a game which received an M rating.'

The lawsuit, which is apparently part of an ongoing investigation into the marketing of videogames, was introduced by attorney Rocky Delgadillo. The city attorney's office of Los Angeles has filed a lawsuit against Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive over the controversial Hot Coffee mod in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
