It seems that Kevin Clash isn’t as innocent as we thought he was. His accuser, Sheldon Stephens, may have recanted his statement but not because it didn’t happen. Stephens was given a nice, six-figure settlement by Clash to recant his statement and from now-on he must tell people that he was an adult at the time of the affair. It might be because Kevin voices the most loveable character ever, but I really want to believe his side of things but this settlement has me pretty skeptical. For a while it seemed that this was just a get rich quick scheme by Stephens especially given his shady past, and not it seems like that might be the case especially since he was spotted crying while signing his recanted statement and saying that he didn’t want to sign it. It could be that Clash paid off Stephens just to make things go away but either way the settlement still looks bad and Elmo is voiceless for now. Read more below. Julie A.
(Photos) The Man Who Accused Elmo Is Revealed! And He Has A SHADY Past!
The man behind the Elmo underaged sex allegations has been revealed…and he is shady as f*ck! He has a history of robbing, he’s a wannabe model and his mom is currently awaiting trial for attempted murder. Sounds like a dead ringer for someone who’d want to extort a rich man like Kevin Clash! The Smoking Gun has uncovered details on Sheldon Stephens, a 24-year-old wannabe actor/model from Harrisburg, PA who also goes by “Sheldon Xzavier.” His worst charge comes from a music manager by the name of Darian Pollard, who contacted the Beverly Hills Police Department to report that his former intern (Sheldon, who he’d fired) had robbed him at knifepoint of a $250,000 “white gold necklace with diamonds” and a “white gold ring with diamond baguets.” That charge was later dropped and a source said it was more of a “domestic dispute.” Check out his pics in the gallery and read more about his shady past here. It seems more and more like he was simply trying to make a get-rich-quick scheme! Poor Kevin Clash! Marisa Mendez
