Earlier this week three lawsuits filed against former Elmo voice actor Kevin Clash by men who claimed he had inappropriate sexual relationships with them when they were under age were thrown out because the statute of limitations had passed [click here if you missed that].
Kevin responds to the ruling...
Kevin Clash's attorney tells the media,
"Kevin is pleased by the judge's decision. As we have maintained all along, our goal has been to put these spurious claims behind him so that Kevin can go about the business of re-claiming his personal life and his professional standing, which was recently recognized once again by the three Emmys he won last month."
"The judge's decision to dismiss and close the three lawsuits is an important step in that direction. Kevin is looking forward to a time in the near future when he can tell his story free of innuendo and false claims."
