A fourth man has filed a lawsuit against Sesame Street puppeteer Kevin Clash
alleging sexual abuse. The latest suit was filed today in Miami, NBC News reports. The unidentified accuser claims Clash befriended him in late 1995 or early 1996 and flew him from Miami to New York where the abuse allegedly occurred. Clash resigned after 28 years on Sesame Street last month after a second accuser filed suit alleging he had underage sex with the puppeteer. The first accuser in the scandal came forward in early November after filing a lawsuit; Clash was put on leave by series producer Sesame Workshop; that accuser later recanted his story.

I wonder what this will eventually cost American taxpayers. When one sues, one always goes after the big dough. That wouldn’t be the accused.
If the allegations are true, does that really matter?
Uh, how about nothing since he’s not a public employee.
If a crime was committed, Kevin Clash committed it. Not Sesame Street.
Am I terrible for wondering if this is just a way to cash in on this disaster? Of course I would not feel so if i find out they were younger than 16.
I’m an awful person.
Where are all the Deadline readers who rallied with this freak and said he was being unfairly railroaded, presumably just because he’s gay? There was a lot of angry words said about his accusers. How about some apologies?
Apologies for what? Not one of these guys have pursued him in criminal court. And last time I checked, you are innocent until proven guilty. And none of these guys have stepped up to prove him guilty and send him to jail, as they should if this indeed happened. They have stepped up to line their pockets.
