Man who Accused Elmo Puppeteer of Teen Sex Recants
November 13th, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was a teen now says it isn’t so.
The man is now saying his sexual relationship with Clash was adult and consensual.
In response to the statement Tuesday afternoon, Clash issued a statement of his own, saying he is “relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest.”
The man, who has not identified himself, released his statement through the Harrisburg, Pa., law firm of Andreozzi & Associates.
On Monday, Sesame Workshop said Clash had taken a leave of absence from “Sesame Street” after allegations came to light that he had had a relationship with a 16-year-old. Clash denied the charges from the man, who is now in his early 20s.
kiss his bank account goodbye!
Didn’t believe from the beginning!!! just trying to make money!!!
Long live Elmo!!!!!
He should go to jail for false accusations.
Somebody settled out of court…
I don’t get why people like to slander those that are famous
William it never got to court. Have you followed the story? The false accusation was made only a couple days ago.
So he did have *** with Clash when he was in his 20,s but not as a 16 year old ?? I don’t know if the whole story is out there yet..
Huh! Maybe we shouldnt be so quick to judge. Huh. Maybe thats why we have a legal process.
its called black mail
At least charge him with filing a false police report.
$$$$. It’s too late though, we’ll always be wondering. Bye bye, Elmo!
Sad, whatever way the ball bounces…?
Realllly!!! that’s one way of wrecking a man’s career, and how could it be settled out of court when it just came out, did it even make it to court yet. If he made false accusations, then he should be jailed for filing false statements.
Elmo is ***? Oh no!
