A fourth accuser is coming forward to claim he engaged in underage sex with former "Sesame Street" puppeteer Kevin Clash.

On Monday, Florida-based attorney Jeff Herman filed his third lawsuit alleging that Clash, now 52, engaged in sex with minors. Herman also has filed suits on behalf of two of the previous three accusers.

still no “where were all the muppets like that when I was a kid?” postings here.

Then you have to do the same with heterosexuals. I don’t think the results will be any better.

Old news. This was on the front page of the NY Times, above the fold, last Friday. SARC.

“It just gets worser & worser.”

Get your english right, the proper way to phrase that is “It just gets worserlier”

[P.O.E.]

Eww...

The Merck foundation charity thinks people like Kevin Clash and Jerry Sandusky would make good Boy Scout leaders.
No joke.

The University of San Francisco has a large body of work studying homosexuals if you can get access to the journals. The study pasted below reports that about 21% of homosexuals had been forcibly raped as children. That number excludes those who were abused in other ways. Always remember that it's normal (that means 50% or more) for homosexuals to pursue minors for sex. Heterosexuals have nowhere near those numbers.

“UCSF Study Finds Gay/Bisexual Men Who Were Sexually Abused as Children Are More Likely to Engage in Unsafe Sex

Men who have sex with men (MSM) who are victims of childhood sexual abuse are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than other MSMs, say researchers from UCSF’s Center for AIDS Prevention (CAPS).

The study, published in the April issue of Child Abuse & Neglect, found that about one fifth (20.6%) of all MSMs experienced childhood sexual abuse—a rate that is higher than general prevalence estimates for the general male population. These men's early sexual victimization experiences typically involved physical force, penetrative sex, and were highly distressing. “

Alan Ginsberg, beloved, reknowned and world famous poet, was a member of NAMBLA. Sex by 8, or it's too late.

But you KNOW that gays are NOT pedophiles, no sir.

If you look at statistics, there are at least 50% of cases where the perp molested someone of the opposite sex.

But remember gays are 3% of the population, so there's some serious homosexual MOLESTIN' goin' on out there.

I'm just SHOCKED that a children's entertainer could possibly have a prediliction to have a profession that would allow them access to kids.

[Varda]

That would be SHOCKED,...SHOCKED!!!

[Bshaw]

I’m in tears....

The Count is dead. Did he lose count?

Elmo, poster muppet for "stranger danger".

“Always remember that it’s normal (that means 50% or more) for homosexuals to pursue minors for sex.”

Where did you get those numbers?

And where are your stats on lesbians?

I found that child sexual assault numbers were as follows: U.S. rates were 7.5% for males and 25.3% for females. But this doesn’t give me any correlation regarding sexuality,does it?

“...to claim he engaged in underage sex with former “Sesame Street” puppeteer Kevin Clash.”

Odd way to phrase it. That sentence makes it seem like the guy is claiming it as a point of pride. Like I might claim I engaged in underage sex with my hot 9th grade teacher. I imagine a lead sentence like “Elmo anally raped me when I was 16 years old” doesn’t do much for the homosexual image that the papers endorse.

I just read a study conducted by the VA and it says that a whole lot of male soldiers were sexually assaulted over the years but only the womens cases made it into the news.

The number of men sexually assaulted was actually more than that of women but over a longer period. It was somewhere around 22K.

Do you have a link you could share? I’d love to see that one.

There was a Florida Today report written by Alan Snel. The DOD has all the figures about male on male rapes on their website.

Look up military SARC. You will get an idea of what is going on.

Here is an exampel:

“Soldier-on-soldier sex assault was not recognised as an offence by the Department of Defense until 1992 – and to begin with, only female victims were acknowledged. But more than 110 men last year reported sexual assault by other men – almost three times as many as in 2007, with actual victim numbers believed to be much higher.”

The info came from a human behavior class some years ago. Recently, I had to go through a class for teachers about sexual abuse of children. It was largely pro-homosexual propaganda so I queried the instructors largely to find if the info I'd learned earlier still held. Their supporting literature showed the same results. I also had for many years access to a university library from my home that gave me access to all journals in every field. Wish I still had that!

Lesbians don't cluster with MSMs (male homosexuals) in the studies I've seen (looking at diseases & rates, life expectancy, incarceration rates). I know they have their own set of problems but I haven't paid attention to the specifics of those.

Child sexual assault is a term that can cover a lot of ground. I'd be interesting to know how they define that.
