Sesame Streets' Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash was outed as a pedophile by two men recently coming forward, telling of their sexual encounters with Clash as minors...
Sheldon Stephens, the first accuser, tells the Insider, ""I would like to say my name has been unfairly dragged through the media and it made me look like a monster. The whole world reacted in such a negative way and they haven't really gotten a chance to know who I am and to even ask the right questions to figure out what kind of person I am. Rather, they reacted off of hearsay and rumors and speculation of the whole situation. ... The biggest misconception about me is that I'm a liar, extortionist."
The second Elmo accuser Cecil Singleton is rejoicing that Kevin Clash, voice of Elmo, has resigned (click Pink for more). Cecil says don't be surprised if more Elmo accusers come forward...
The man who claims Elmo voice actor Kevin Clash sexually abused him as a 15-year-old says he's "happy" and "relieved" Clash called it quits on "Sesame Street" -- because the scandal could have wreaked even more havoc on the kids' TV show.
Singleton is suing Clash for more than $5 million, claiming Clash preyed on him as a child "to satisfy his depraved sexual interests."
Singleton also says Clash desperately tried to conceal his connection to "Sesame Street" during their courtship in 2003 -- claiming, "It was essential to him that I not find out who he actually was."
Singleton says he was motivated to file his lawsuit by Clash's first accuser Sheldon Stephens.
And there's this -- Singleton's lawyer says he won't be surprised if more men come forward, claiming he's already spoken to men with similar stories as Cecil and Sheldon.
