“Elmo” Accuser Reportedly Says He Was Pressured to Settle, Did Have Underage Sex

The Elmo sex scandal is not over.

Sheldon Stephens, the man who accused “Sesame Street” puppeteer Kevin Clash of starting a sexual relationship with him while Stephens was underage, now reportedly claims he only recanted those allegations under pressure to settle for cash.

According to TMZ, Clash agreed to pay Stephens $125,000 to announce that theirs was an “adult consensual relationship” and take back his teenage sex claims.

Now Stephens allegedly insists his original story was accurate all along, that he signed the agreement under duress and now wishes to undo the settlement to clear his own name.

There has not yet been word from Clash’s camp about this latest report.

Gossip Cop will have updates.

    So we should believe this guy AFTER he agreed to say “I was an adult”? I would believe him had he gone to the police instead of to a lawyer and asking for money.

    Agree 100%. You would go to the police. Going to lawyers is all about the money. So sad that if this is all untrue (which I think it is) he is trying to hurt the voice of such a beloved children’s figure.

    Who wants money! I say, who wants money??!?? That guy. You don’t settle for money in cases like this. If I had a kid (or was a kid) and someone touched him/her/me in that way, I wouldn’t want their money, I would want them castrated or dead.

    He has awoken to the fact that Palimony could have brought him a lifetime of luxury without Elmo. He’s a money grubbing piece of gutter trash and if he thinks he’ll be modeling anytime soon, he’s sadly mistaken. No one will want to be around him.

    Like theeeeee. Of course he had! One big reason why it was all shush shushed so fast! And perverts are free…..money are still winning in this ” beautiful” world!

    You don’t know what you would want until you’ve been there. There are now three other potential underage victims who have come forward. It is obvious that Clash tried to buy hin out.
