A Tennessee native has filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that the company is at fault for selling him devices, which gave him unlimited access to porn on the internet.

Former attorney Chris Sevier, in a 50 page complaint, filed mid-June, claimed that since the tech giant is concerned with the welfare of US' children, while furthering pro-US values, it should sell its devices in 'safe mode,' with software preset to filter out adult content, the Huffington Post reported.

The complaint says that his problem started after he tried to visit 'Facebook.com,' but by mistake wrote 'F**kbook.com,' a porn site, which appealed to his biological sensibilities and led to an unwanted addiction.

Later, in a section, Sevier accused Apple of enabling unfair competition between porn stars and his wife; he became totally out of sync in his relationship with his wife, as a consequence of his use of Apple product.

He said that he began desiring, younger and more beautiful girls that were featured in porn videos than his wife, who was no longer 21, he asserted that he could no longer tell the difference between internet porn and tangible intercourse due to the content he was able to access through the Apple products.
