Voice of Sesame Street's 'Elmo' accused of affair with underaged teen By DAVID K. LI Last Updated: 6:49 PM, November 12, 2012 Posted: 9:49 AM, November 12, 2012
The man who voices beloved children’s character “Elmo” took a leave of absence, after he was accused of having an affair with an underaged boy, Sesame Street officials said today.
The allegations against Kevin Clash, 52, go back seven years and the puppeteer said he needed a break from work to fight the allegations.
The famed puppeteer insisted he didn't do anything wrong -- and came out of the closet, in defending himself.
"I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter," he said in a prepared statement.
"I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was. I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation.".............................>>>>..........................>>>>....................http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/voice_teen_elmo_accused_of_years_f8XoIk95DNEivcqxnL7B2O
