Another young man has come forward claiming Kevin Clash, the ex-voice of Elmo, got him drunk and had relations with him. The boy was 16 at the time of the incident.
According to a lawsuit filed in federal court, Clash met the boy on a gay phone chat line when the boy was 16 and Clash was approximately 40-years-old.

The boy, now 28, says he was in New York looking for a job in the modeling industry when Clash approached him and invited him to his apartment which incidentally was decked out with everything Elmo.
During the encounter, the accuser — who refers to himself as John Doe — claims Clash plied him with alcohol and “groomed him,” and then engaged in contact that included “oral and digital penetration of the boy.”
Clash did not have relations with the boy again until he became an adult.
