So, this happened, via The Wall Street Journal:
Kevin Clash, famous for being the voice of Elmo for more than 25 years, is taking a leave of absence to fight allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a minor seven years ago.
Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization behind Sesame Street, released a statement this morning stating it received communication from a 23-year old man in June who alleged he had an affair when he was 16-years old with the 52-year old puppeteer. After two in-person meetings with the accuser and “repeated” discussions, Sesame said the allegations were unsubstantiated, but faulted Clash with inappropriate behavior.
“We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation. We also conducted a thorough investigation and found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated,” the Sesame Workshop said.
I want my mommy.
UPDATE: The accuser has recanted his story, and all I can say is that the types of people who make this shit up are really the worst kinds of people. Making up a story that can hurt someone's reputation is shitty, unless it's me doing it about the fat bitch at Starbucks who never gets my order right. I heard she eats puppies.
