I will be very disappointed if he turns out to be a dirtbag, he's immensely talented and his rags to riches story is truly inspiring.
He won't have a day in court - this accusation is past the statute of limitations.

Maybe he just found out this guy has money from the first allegations that got recanted.
Yeah, very suspect.

Didn't the OP story state that the accuser lied about his age?
I'm agree with Edward,16 years olds do know what they are doing.
It seems the 16 year old was willing. Plus,it wasn't like the guy used force. It was cosensual.

If some creepy celeb wanted to get hold of the young flesh of my 15 year old son....I would make sure that the jerk was put out of commission regarding his selfish pleasures....a 16 year old is a child..those that go on about consent need a smack up side the head...I could swear that law makers that set these ages of consent are pervs themselves.

But this 15 year old was on an internet gay chat channel talking to him.

Elmo voice actor Kevin Clash resigns as second man files underage sex lawsuit against him - NYPOST.com
I happen to agree with you! A 15 year old "teen" knows what they are doing! I would be outraged if it was a 7 or 8 year old.

I'm calling complete shenanigans on this guy. While I know it's not prudent to make such a bold statement without knowing the facts, I just am not buying this story at all.

If I was ever molested or raped by anyone, regardless of how rich, famous, or powerful they were, I would spend every once of my energy to make sure that person ends up in jail! I would not by holding my hand out for a check and not pursue actions that would allow such a criminal to possibly harm another victim again. This so-called victim isn't trying to get a dangerous pedophile off the streets-he's looking for a major payout!

People like this come out of the wood works to accuse celebs all the time. While I don't feel much sympathy for many celebrities, I can't imagine how much it would suck to be a near constant target for every money grubbing charlatan who can find his or her way to the courthouse. It kills me because in many of these cases, the "relationship" begins after the celebrity is already rich and famous so it really seems like they're being targeted by golddiggers.

One thing that the Sandusky trial has shown us is that pedophiles, no matter how much money or clout they may have, can be prosecuted. The Sandusky victims wanted to see Sandusky behind bars for the rest of his natural life; Clash's accuser just wants $$$$$.
This was my initial thought.
