A third accuser has stepped forward with claims of underage sex acts with puppeteer Kevin Clash.
According to attorney Jeff Herman, a third accuser, known as “John Doe” will be filing a suit against Kevin tomorrow in Manhattan Federal Court. Herman says his client is now 29-years-old and claims to have engaged in sexual acts with Kevin when he was sixteen.
Though he wishes to remain anonymous, Herman said his client began writing a book in 2009 about his experiences with Kevin and pages from the book will be announced during a press conference on tomorrow…after the lawsuit it filed. Of course. We’re pubbing BOOKS at underage sex claims press conferences now? Oh.
The lawsuit states that “John Doe” moved to New York to model at age 16, and chatted with Kevin on a gay chat line before going over to his apartment for some “some sexual activity.” He claims Kevin went by the pseudonym “Craig” and said he was 30-years-old.
“John Doe” says he figured out who Kevin was after meeting him again in 2003 and 2004.
So what tipped him off? The attorney said, “He saw Elmo dolls, an Emmy award and photographs of Elmo with movie stars.” Again, of course.
Stay tuned for the developing story…
