By Laura Collins PUBLISHED: 16:35 EST, 29 November 2012 | UPDATED: 20:01 EST, 29 November 2012 Sesame Street puppeteer Kevin Clash, 52, is facing the threat of a fourth legal suit from a young man alleging sexual abuse at his hands. He will be represented by Jeff Herman, the attorney for Clash's second and third accusers, Cecil Singleton, 24, and a 29-year-old man so far known only as John Doe. Mr Herman is still 'verifying' the fourth man's story, but has told Mail Online, 'It is very similar and so far nothing has fallen by the wayside in vetting it'.
