I always knew that Elmo was a happy little monster, but who figured that a little sip of the “happy juice” helped him to get there?

In court documents placed today by the third accuser in the Kevin Clash controversy, the man known as “John Doe” claims that he met the puppeteer when he was 16 and Clash was close to 40 and says that he was supplied some alcohol to get the ex-Sesame Street worker to do a little more than make him laugh with his funny voice:

The accuser — now 28 — says he was in NYC pursuing modeling opportunities when Clash invited him to his swanky NYC apartment, which was strewn with Elmo dolls and photos of Elmo with famous people, including Beyonce and Tyra Banks.During the encounter, the accuser — who refers to himself as John Doe — claims Clash plied him with alcohol and “groomed him,” and then engaged in sexual contact that included “oral sex and digital penetration of John’s anus.”
