Sheldon Stephens, Cecil Singleton were the first two men to come forward outing Sesame Streets' Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash as a pedophile (click Pink for more). Then TWO more men came forward (click Pink for more).
Now ANOTHER man comes forward, making that number jump to FIVE...
The Emmy award-winning man behind Sesame Street's "Elmo" is now facing his third allegation of underage sex in two weeks, after the initial two.
This time puppeteer Kevin Clash is facing a lawsuit accusing him of sexual activity with a 16-year-old in 2000.
The accuser, now 29, will be filing a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday, says the man's attorney Jeff Herman.
Herman said his client started writing a book in 2009 describing his experience with Clash.
The lawyer said he will have pages from that book at a press conference Tuesday to announce the lawsuit.
Herman said the accuser is from the South and was in high school when he came to New York 13 years ago for modeling work.
He said his client connected with Clash — who went under the pseudonym “Craig” and claimed to be only 30 years old — on a gay chat line. The two chatted for a couple of days and then Craig invited the 16-year-old to his apartment.
In the apartment, Herman said his client realized Craig was older than 30. They also engaged in "some sexual activity.”
Herman said his client met Clash again in 2003 and 2004, and over a period of time figured out who Clash was.
