In the letter, addressed to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, PTC President Timothy Winter asked if Hastings' company will "stand for the distribution of nine year old girls masturbating":
When the child masturbation scene first drew attention online back in June, Kaplan defended his handling of the scene in a statement to IndieWire, blaming any sexual interpretation on the viewer. "Everything works inside the spectators’ heads, and how you think this scene was filmed will depend on your level of depravity," he said. But he also made clear that he knew the scene was explicitly sexual and took steps to make sure that the girls "never understood" what they were depicting and no adults interacted with them during the filming.
"Of course this scene was filmed using a trick, which was that the girls were copying a cowboy scene from a film by John Ford," he said. "The girls never understood what they were doing, they were just copying what they were seeing on the screen. No adult interacted with the girls, other than the child acting coach. Everything was done under the careful surveillance of the girls’ mothers. Because I knew this scene might cause some controversy at some point, there is 'Making Of' footage of the filming of the entire scene."

It has come to our attention that your streaming service has made available an Argentinian film called Desire which depicts a nine year old girl masturbating to the point of orgasm. I respectfully, but pointedly, ask you: Does the Netflix brand stand for the distribution of nine year old girls masturbating? The answer is yes or no; there is no other choice here.
