The puppeteer who gave Sesame Street's Elmo his voice allegedly threw a crystal meth sex party for a teenage boy in 2004, according to a federal lawsuit filed this week.
Sheldon Stephens, now 24, is the fourth man to sue Kevin Clash, but he was the first one to publicly claim he had a sexual relationship with him as a teen.
Stephens' lawsuit is "meritless and barred by the statute of limitations," Clash lawyer Michael Berger told CNN Tuesday. "Mr. Clash continues to deny any wrongdoing, and we intend to defend this case forcefully."

"I am a gay man," Clash, 52, said in a statement in November. "I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter."
Three other men soon emerged with federal lawsuits, filed last November and December, accusing Clash of befriending them as teenager then engaging in sex with them. They are all represented by Florida lawyer Jeff Herman, who also filed Stephens' lawsuit Monday.

I will say it again: Children's programming in the USA is a disgrace. No wonder PBS is still banking on the emotional appeal of 1970s characters while they shortchange our kids with shallow metrosexual content and vapid characters.
Might it have something to do with the fact that CTW, NPR PBS et al are completely overrun by flaming homosexual (often HIV+) activists? (On Sesame Street alone, Elmo, Mr. Noodles, etc...)
Kevin Clash, Molestor Meth Muppet Man.
It’s only MSM news if it’s a scout leader or non-islamic relgious leader.
having been to those countires or lived in them then I agree with you.
Kids programs over in Europe are funny, not political and certainly not pushing anything like homosexuals or green energy.
I;ve never let my kids growing up watch PBS ., seasame street etc, why anyone woulw turn on a TV and let their kids be brainwashed into thinking the lefts or homosexual thinking is plain cruel and obviously are lazy parents
oh yea, and yet again we have a homosexual going after a little boy and then we still get idiots on our so called side though I think they;re more liberal tarians who tell us they have no problem with an kind of marriage
I believe the source of the problem is government funding.
There's a distinction...maybe.
I believe the source of the problem is government funding.
Well, yeah, 1010RD, but are you talking about child rape, the decay and collapse of entire cities, the national economy, the failure of education, or...? Seems to me government funding has a nasty habit of showing up with all kinds of serious problems.
Are there ways of getting Euro cable channels in the US, for instance JimJam channel from the UK, or the Kid shows on France 2 and 3? I am disgusted with PBS and CTW and won’t let my kids watch anything except the older Sesame Street stuff (which is quite good but impossible to find) from the 70s and 80s. Elmo? Forget it. A cast of speech-impedimented mental and moral deficients.
maybe but wen a man like boys , that makes him same sex and there fore a homosexual.
Reminds me of when the Catholic church went through all that trouble a few years back and the media lapped it all up by having headlines like crisis in the church, etc
Not once did the media ever point out that it was a homosexual problem like the Sandusky episode.
If someone had some guts they would look at how many times bys are raped or even in hte military rapes on men have jumped on a massive scale last year and that was no coincidence that don;t ask was overturned or which it should be overturned again
not sure about what you can get, I know cable and direct TV [I;ve had both] do have international channel packages but I think that they are mostly Chinese or Korean.
I got Netflix and found it has great programs for kids on there, it even has a childrens portion full of kid programs.
My youngest just watched Gordy a pig movie.
Netflix too gives me the optoion of knowing what is on the program first. I got netflix as I was so fed up like you of not being able to watch decent programs and I was so fed up of the family sitting down to watch a movie only for homosexuals to suddenly appear and then we turn the thing off.
Hollywood etc care more about their political messages and homosexual agenda than actualy entertaining the people.
Good luck and it sounds you are a good parent who takes an interest in what you;re kids watch and I;m sure they will grow as good Americans and good conservatives
"...but it wasn't RAPE-RAPE! Nobody got pregnants!"
If you have an Android phone or tablet.....there are some good FREE apps you can get to receive foreign TV
France TV app is on Google Play and Amazon AppStore. It has many of the French broadcasters....including ones you mentioned
AllMyTV is a new app by a Italian company that also has French channels.... including Swiss and Canadian French broadcasters. You may want to get Google Translate nearby as most instruction is in Italian...though worth it for the small inconvienence
These apps are safe and easy to use....and work most times. The French broadcasters seem to not mind their broadcasts being apped
I use the apps mainly for news and sports, but you should also find youth programs as well
Oh, I forgot.... AllMyTv has the UK broadcasts too. They tend to not work as well as the French broadcasters....but some late nites on break at work I watched BBC 1 Breakfast show.
Just some TV options out there
I guess I learned something new today. Apparently, the statute of limitations is different for priests than it is for this jerk.
