The young man who accused Kevin Clash of underage sex (before he recanted) has been revealed as Sheldon Stephens, a 24-year-old aspiring model/actor from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. On his Facebook page, he says of himself, ?I like to consider myself a rare breed. I'm very spontaneous and random?I'm determined and goal oriented. My destiny is laid on a solid gold brick pathway....... MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT and never will it dim.?
Though it has not been revealed how Sheldon even met 52-year-old Kevin (back when he was only 16), what has been revealed is a scandalous past full of run-ins with the lat since 2009. He was first arrested for writing hot checks in Harrisburg (but he later settled his debt), then he pleaded guilt to reckless driving.
And most shockingly, he was arrested for robbing his old boss, music manager Darian Pollard, for $250K in jewelry at knifepoint! As far as that case goes, Darian didn't file charges and told The Smoking Gun that he doesn't remember being robbed. SMH.
But trouble in Sheldon's life didn't stop there as his mother, Felicia Stephens, was charged with attempted murder after she allegedly stabbed her husband with a pair of scissors...repeatedly. All of this went down in March and now she is facing a felony aggravated assault rap and is due in court December 19. SMH. (Interesting that the time of his mother facing these charges overlaps with the time Sheldon was negotiating with Sesame Street about the supposed "allegations. Was someone trying to make money for legal fees?)
And we told you previously that there was speculation (by TMZ)
