Elmo puppeteer revealed to be wannabe model with multiple prior arrests: report Elmo puppeteer revealed t...ts: report
Sheldon Stephens
The man who accused Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was underage has been identified as a wannabe model with multiple prior arrests — including one for a knifepoint robbery, according to a report. The accuser, identified by the Smoking Gun web site as Sheldon Stephens, contacted Clash’s bosses at “Sesame Street” to claim he had sex with Clash when he was 16 years old. Stephens, 24, quickly recanted Tuesday, one day after the allegations became public and Clash, 52, was forced to take a leave of absence from the beloved childhood program.  AP

TMZ reported Stephens released the statement after lawyers for him and Clash began discussions on a possible “six-figure” financial settlement. Clash, a divorced dad who lives on the Upper West Side, e-mailed Stephens in either 2010 or 2011 and apologized for not being able to keep his mind off the much younger man. “I’m sorry that I keep talking to you about sex with you, it’s driving me insane,” Clash wrote, according to TMZ. Stephens, of Harrisburg, Pa., lived in Brooklyn from 2007 to 2008 when, according to his résumé obtained by the Smoking Gun, he was an intern at Blowback Productions in Chelsea. On his Facebook page, Stephens says, “I like to consider myself a rare breed. I’m very spontaneous and random...I’m determined and goal oriented. My destiny is laid on a solid gold brick pathway ... MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT and never will it dim.” But Stephens’ past includes an arrest for allegedly robbing a former boss of a $250,000 gold necklace at knifepoint in 2009, according to the Smoking Gun. Stephens allegedly ripped off the jewelry in California from music manager Darian Pollard after being fired from his internship. Stephens was taken into custody after returning to Pennsylvania, but California authorities never pursued the case. the Smoking Gun reported. Stephens, whose modeling Web site lists him as single, also has been arrested for passing a bad check, and reckless driving. His mother, Felicia Stephens, 48, was busted in 2011 for allegedly stabbing her husband with scissors. Felicia, charged with attempted murder, is free on bail pending trial in Pennsylvania. Sheldon stood by his mother, telling the Harrisburg Patriot News, “My mom is the nicest person in the world.” Sheldon did not return requests for comment. | |

 Mugshot of Sheldon Stephens when he was incarcerated in Dauphin County, Pa. The man who tickled Elmo has had a troubled past. Aspiring model Sheldon Stephens was identified by The Smoking Gun as the person who nearly destroyed “Sesame Street” muppeteer Kevin Clash’s career by claiming he had a relationship with the 52-year-old when he was just 16. Clash said they were consenting adults. On Tuesday, Stephens recanted the underage accusation. The ordeal wasn’t the first time Stephens, a self-described “rare breed,” got in over his head, according to the site. The 24-year-old was arrested in the Harrisburg, Pa., airport in 2009 on charges of receiving stolen property, The Smoking Gun reported. At the time, he was sporting a white gold necklace and ring a Los Angeles music manager said Stephens robbed from him. Stephens told cops the $250,000 in jewelry was a gift. The case was eventually dismissed. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/elmo-accuser-recanted-troubled-article-1.1202365#ixzz2CJ6Sm5t7 | |

Elmo’s Accuser Identified
The gay man who was wined and dined at age 18 by the then 48-year-old puppeteer Kevin Clash has been unmasked as a gay escort who made his living fleecing gullible entertainment industry down low gays. The Smoking Gun identified Pennsylvania resident Sheldon Stephens, 23, as the man who attempted to cash in on a lawsuit that alleged he was only 16 when he met Clash, the voice of Sesame Street’s famed Elmo muppet. Stephens, a sometime model with hazel eyes, describes himself on his Facebook page’s “About” page as “a rare breed. I’m very spontaneous and random… I’m determined and goal oriented. My destiny is laid on a solid gold brick pathway……. MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT and never will it dim.”
But the case collapsed under the weight of Stephens’ lies, his past criminal history, and the lack of evidence. Stephens’ mother, Felicia Stephens, 48, was arrested last March and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her husband repeatedly with a pair of scissors, The Smoking Gun reports. On Tuesday, Stephens recanted his accusations, saying he was a consenting adult (18) when he had sex with Clash, now 52. The recantation led to speculation that Stephens was paid handsomely for his silence. According to The Smoking Gun, Stephens was arrested several times since 2009. The most serious charge was filed against Stephens in September 2009, when he was arrested at the Harrisburg airport after from LA.
Stay tuned for Stephens’s book outing all the down low industry men he has slept with over the years. I bet they have all hired attorneys to pay this guy off.
