In the article "Meet The Man Who Targeted Elmo Puppeteer", they reveal that Sheldon Stephens, 24, was the accuser of Elmo Puppeteer, Kevin Clash, 52, of being in a underage sexual relationship with him when he was 16. Though after accusing him, he annulled the allegation only a day later. Stephens is a struggling 24-year-old actor/model who was arrested before for robbery of $250,000 worth of jewelry at knife-point of music manager Daniel Pollard that he was interning under.
The article on thesmokinggun.com (TSG) includes facts, details, and quotes they got from other gossip websites and from people they have interviewed on this situation themselves. One quote that stood out to me from Stephens himself that he posted on his facebook page was the last part of his quote that reads "MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT and never will it dim" This quote from him clearly shows that he thinks after pulling this stunt he doesn't think there will consequence for his actions.
I think them having a sexual relationship is their business and that nobody should even be reporting on this. The station and the two them should be able to handle this problem without all the following of paparazzi and having to explain to the media about this. This is their private business and nobody should be involved in it but them and the station to see how to handle this.
This article makes me think that some people will do anything to get a little kick or money out of a scam. I maybe only a teenager but seeing people pull scams like this, makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. it makes me think that people will really do anything for what they want even if it is the craziest idea ever thought up. I'm hoping that future people will start to realize by doing bad things, bad things happen to you in return.
Good post. 100
