The man who voices the puppet of Elmo on Sesame Street has taken leave amid allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
Kevin Clash, 52, has taken a leave of absence from the popular children's show after the programme's lawyers were contacted by a 23-year-old man who claims he had a sexual relationship with the puppeteer seven years ago, when he was aged 16.

We have been deceived into believing there is a separate class of perversion called pedophilia. In reality Sodomites require ever increasing stimulation in order to maintain the same feelings of aliveness. This need causes them to seek out younger and younger boys.

Males involved in children’s programming have always given me the creeps, particularly where there are children involved in the show and not just puppets or animation. We’ve moved well beyond the days of Mr. Rogers in the US and The Friendly Giant in Canada. The homo-predators are attracted to places where they have prospects.
Depends on the state. In some states, DC, and ironically the UK given who's reporting here about "child sex abuse," 16 is legal age.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone is looking for a payday.
So THAT’S why Elmo ran away from Katy Perry!
Intel and UPS have announced they will no longer give money to the Boy Scout’s because of the organization’s anti-gay policy. No doubt the Scouts will ultimately cave and this behavior will become routine. Part of our brave new world.
a 16 year old cannot give consent in most areas. So the accuser may be a liar. Angry young men and women know the best way to get back at someone is to accuse of inappropriate sex.
Now that homosexual “marriage” is a foregone conclusion, they will set their sights on eliminating age of consent laws. Mark my words.
