'Voice Of Elmo' Kevin Clash Pays Accuser SIX Figures & Demands Public Retraction Of Underage Sex Claim!
November 17, 2012GWL Staff
Kevin Clash, "Voice of Elmo" was recently accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16 year-old boy, (who's now 23) has agreed to pay his accuser, Sheldon Stephens, $125,000 under one condition-- Sheldon must recant his story about Clash having sex with him when he was minor.
According to TMZ, hours before Stephens recanted his underage sex allegation, a settlement was struck between the two parties. Under the terms of the settlement, Clash agreed to pay Stephens 125k. But the settlement then provides the following:
"Stephens agrees that immediately upon execution of this Agreement, his counsel, Andreozzi & Associates, P.C., shall release the [following] statement ... 'He [Stephens] wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship.'"
The settlement document goes on to say if Stephens is asked by anyone about his relationship with Clash, he must only repeat the statement [above] in the settlement that recants his story.
although Stephens signed the document, he continues to insist Clash had sex with him when he was a minor and was pressured into signing the settlement.
One source privy to the negotiations is saying that Stephens was crying during final negotiations and repeatedly insisted he didn't want to sign.
