Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash, 52, was accused of engaging in
underage sex with male model, Sheldon Stephens, 23
Stephens then retracted his story, after Clash agreed to pay him
$125,000
Source says Stephens cried during negotiations with Clash's lawyer
and he now wishes to undo the settlement 'to restore his name'
Stephens has been arrested for several misdemeanors including
allegedly robbing a former employer at knife-point
The male model who last week accused Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo,
of having sex with him while he was underage stands by his story,
claims he was pressured into recanting it, and is now seeking legal
advice on how to undo his settlement.
The $125,000 settlement was struck between the two men several hours
before the accuser, Sheldon Stephens, 23, officially retracted his
underage sex allegation.
Under the terms of the settlement, if Stephens is asked by anyone
about his relationship with Clash, he must repeat only the following
statement: 'He [Stephens] wants it to be known that his sexual
relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship.'

Sheldon Stephens now wishes to undo the $125,000 settlement that he
signed last week with Clash's lawyers
Stephens reportedly cried during final negotiations with Clash's
lawyer and repeatedly insisted he didn't want to sign.
He has apparently met with lawyers in Los Angeles and told them he was
pressured into recanting his allegation and insists he's telling the
truth when he says he had sex with Clash when he was 16, reports TMZ.
Stephens, a struggling actor/model, is now telling lawyers he will
gladly forfeit the $125,000 settlement to restore his name.

Accusations that Clash, who is openly gay, engaged in an underage
sexual affair set off a media firestorm after they were revealed last
Monday. Within 24 hours of the story breaking, Stephens recanted his
claim.
After Stephens withdrew his allegations, Clash told the New York Times
through a spokesman: 'I am relieved that this painful allegation has
been put to rest. I will not discuss it further.'
Since the scandal broke, Clash, 52, has taken a leave of absence from
the Sesame Workshop which produces the popular children's TV show on
PBS.
