Elmo Is Facing New Charges

The former puppeteer and voice of Sesame Street's Elmo, actor Kevin Clash, is now facing charges of drug abuse and underage sex. This news comes only a few months after the disgraced actor was charged with having sex with three underage men. The new accuser is 24-year-old Sheldon Stephens, he filed one of the initial lawsuits in November, but he is now filing a new lawsuit. Stephens claims that  when he was 16 Clash gave him drugs, while he himself got high on crystal meth, and then proceeded to convince him to engage in sex. At a news conference Stephens said "I was taken advantage of by someone a lot older". The charges in the new lawsuit filed yesterday in Pennsylvania are sexual battery for childhood sexual abuse, travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and coercion and enticement to sexual activity.

Last time Stephens dropped the lawsuit because he believed a settlement would be reached, however that never happened so he filed another lawsuit again yesterday.
