Former voice of Sesame Street’s Elmo, Kevin Clash, is being hit with yet another lawsuit. A fifth male is accusing Clash of sexual impropriety when he was underage.
Kevin Kiadii, a 25-year-old makeup artist, says he and Clash had a sexual relationship when he was 16. Clash’s fetish was to act as a “father figure” to the then boy, according to Kiadii. He told reporters that Clash knew he was a minor and said that he was 28 when he was actually 43.
Kaidii says he and Clash met on a chatline in 2004, and according to his attorney, he was “a young boy exploring his sexuality not looking for sex but for friends and understanding on gay chat lines.”
Kaidii says the lawsuit is not about the money but having his story heard.
