In the article "Fourth man accuses ex-Elmo puppeteer of sex abuse" by Kell Kennedy talks about how Kevin Clash resigned from Sesame Street last month after voicing the puppet Elmo for 28 years after another man sued for sexual abuse allegations. The victim is the fourth man to accuse Kevin for under age sexual activity. The three legal actions filed so far have been civil cases seeking financial compensation but the latest victim could involve criminal charges because the lawsuit claims Kevin transported him across state lines for sexual activity. "These are all vulnerable boys. None of them had father figures in their lives and they were looking for that father figure," said Herman, who represents three of the alleged victims.Herman said he's been contacted by several other possible victims and is vetting their cases. "We're confident in the actions that we took, but because this is now an issue between litigants, we're not going to comment further," said Ellen Lewis, a publicist for Sesame Street. I think this is fake and they all just want some money, one of them was suing for more then a million dollars. all the victims are at least 21 years old and older so why wait so long to finally report it. If it did happen they all knew what they was doing when engaging in those sexual acts. Why are all the victims represented by the same person. I do think Kevin Clash quitting and not responding yet is a little suspect. I just wondering who their going to get to puppeteer Elmo now.

Dion,
ReplyDeleteYou've cut and pasted most of your blog again. You need to summarize in your own words. You also need to quote any material longer than 3 words which is not your own.
Also, remember that it is hard for people, especially young people, to come out and accuse someone of sexual abuse. The fact that these people have come out when they are older is not surprising, nor is it surprising that they are represented by the same lawyer (that's just how these kinds of cases are done). 60
