This news makes the great documentary Being Elmo even more uncomfortable:

Kevin Clash, the ex-Elmo puppeteer who previously faced allegations of sex abuse, is once again at the center of a lawsuit. The man behind the iconic "Sesame Street" character is named in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Sheldon Stephens, who was the first individual to accuse Clash of abuse in 2012.

The suit notes an occasion when Stephens was 16 and allegedly attended an alleged "crystal meth sex party" at Clash's home.
