Why am I not surprised at this: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash agreed to pay his then-underage sex accuser $125,000 to recant his story, according to TMZ.
Sheldon Stephens came forward this month claiming he had a sexual relationship with “Sesame Street” Muppeteer Kevin Clash, 52, when Stephens was just 16 years old. Clash said they were consenting adults at the time.
On Tuesday, Stephens recanted the underage accusation.
TMZ reported Saturday that Stephens backtracked on his story after being paid $125,000.
Citing legal documents, the report says "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.”

Previously had sympathy for Clash, but if he is paying off an accuser, then all bets are off. As far as I am concerned, then both these guys suck...err are scum.
