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.
TMZ, who reported the allegations, said that Mr Clash had admitted he had a relationship with the man, but only after the accuser was an adult and said the accusations were both false and defamatory.

Hey kids, it’s that time of year again. So be sure to get your parents to take you down to Sodomy Street and get the season’s hottest new toy, Bugger Me Elmo!
Can you tell me how to go around Pedophile Street?
Gee, that picture of Elmo sucking down the mic really says it all.
Sodomy Street!! LOL. Almost as good as my own “Bugger Me Lions” at Penn.
A leave of absence? Isn’t that a requirement for work at PBS?
First they came for Big Bird, but I didn’t speak up because I am not a large feathered freeloader. Then they came for Elmo, but I didn’t speak up because I’m not a gay, black pedophile. Then they came for...
It's apparently not an accident that Elmo represents the greatest threat.
You know Bert and Ernie are next...
well,bugger me elmo...
Kept quiet until post election.
“Almost as good as my own Bugger Me Lions at Penn.”
It goes right along with (you can’t make this stuff up) Jerry Sandusky’s book “Touched”
Knock the feathers out of him....
I love you,
You love me,
We are into sodomy.....
“Am I wrong: a sixteen year old cannot give “consent” to a sexual relationship-it would be rape (I cannot find in what jurisdiction this took place so I may be wrong).”
Whatever jurisdiction this took place in I’m sure has a law or laws that address the consent issue.
In my state there is an age cutoff so that what would be a “lesser” offense for a victim who is 16 years old would be treated as a greater offense if the victim were, say, 13 years old.
In the above example, neither victim can give “consent”.
Was Kevin Clash an member of NAMBLA?
“Tickle Me Elmo” will morph into “Touch Me Elmo”.
Elmo’s Indian name, “poke a hind ass”
President Obama could not be reached for comment.
Not surprising. He’s had his hand up a little kid’s butt for over 20 years!
