A former lover of embattled Elmo voice actor Kevin Clash comes to Kevin's defense after several young men came forward claiming Kevin has a penchant for underage sex...
Jason Murray tells Eonline,
"Kevin is not a villain. Yes, he had an affinity for younger men, but what successful [straight] man doesn’t have an affinity for younger women? It’s the same thing, gay or not.”
"Does he prey on these guys? In my heart I don't believe that."
"I think it's like Hugh Hefner, he dates younger women," he says. "Kevin likes younger guys." But, "I am reading the news and all the negative stuff. I don't see it. He had a good heart."Jason, a 29-year-old teacher, dated Kevin, 52, back in 2004.
