Kevin Clash, the former voice of Sesame Street‘s Elmo, is being sued by Sheldon Stephens, who claims Clash lured him to crystal meth sex parties.

Stephens, Clash’s original accuser, says he was 16 when he met Clash at a networking function for actors and began a sexual relationship with him.

He claims he was taken to Clash’s New York City residence by chauffeured limo, and that Clash smoked crystal meth during their sexual escapades.

He says Clash gave him “poppers” to intensify the experience … and that the limo driver masturbated while watching Clash and Stephens have sex.

 

Clash and Stephens, who came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against him last year, had reached a financial settlement at one point.

However, Stephens disavowed the settlement shortly thereafter because it had a provision requiring him to say he was making the whole thing up.

He was willing to drop it in exchange for compensation, but not say he lied. So the settlement money was never paid, and Stephens filed a new lawsuit.

And here we are. Clash, who resigned from Sesame Street amid a flurry of similar claims last year, has yet to respond to the new claims by Stephens.
