NOVEMBER 20--Here’s the lawsuit filed today by a 24-year-old New York City man who alleges that he engaged in underage sexual contact with Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash--and just realized that he has suffered “adverse psychological and emotional effects” as a result of that alleged relationship.
In a U.S. District Court complaint, Cecil Singleton, 24, claims that he met Clash on a gay chat line about nine years ago, when he was 15. Singleton alleges that Clash, 50, trolled such chat line rooms “to meet and have sex with underage boys.”
Clash, Singleton charges, was secretly “preying on teenage boys to satisfy his depraved sexual interests,” while working for Sesame Street, where his life was “centered around the entertainment of toddlers.” Clash resigned his Sesame Street job today, saying that “personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer.”
Singleton, whose lawsuit is seeking damages in excess of $5 million, claims that Clash coerced him into “numerous” sexual encounters by “among other things, taking him to nice dinners and giving him money.”
