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.

Allegations: Kevin Clash, the voice and movements behind Sesame Street's Elmo has taken leave amid allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy

'I had a relationship with [the accuser]. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not,' said Mr Clash who joined Sesame Street in the mid-80s,

The website reported that after the accuser's initial meeting with Sesame Street lawyers, he felt that that he was being silenced so he hired a lawyer.

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.

“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”

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).

“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”.
