http://www.tmz.com/2012/11/12/elmo-kevin-clash-sex-sesame-street-underage-boy-allegations/Kevin Clash -- the man known as the voice of Elmo -- has taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street in the wake of allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy, TMZ has learned ... allegations Clash adamantly denies.
We've learned ... Sesame Workshop lawyers recently met with a 23-year-old man who claims he and Clash began a sexual relationship 7 years ago ... when he was 16 and Clash was 45.
Clash has acknowledged to TMZ he had a relationship with the young man -- but insists it only took place AFTER the accuser was an adult.
Sesame Workshop honchos tell TMZ ... "In June of this year, Sesame Workshop received a communication from a young man who alleged that he had a relationship with Kevin Clash beginning when he was 16-years-old. This was a personal relationship, unrelated to the workplace. We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action."

To me what sucks here is that
1. Elmo raped a child
2. The child is being called a greedy liar
Why do people even report news? It's always horrible and makes criminals look like bad guys.
Anyway, any more raped kids in the news that we can blame for their own rape?

2. whatever dude

You're right, i don't think a child of 16 can consent to sex with a 40 year old adult. Niether does the law, and by extension, a majority of the population of america.

Bert believes that all children who make accusations, are just trying to get money. At the same time, he hates pedophiles. lol makes no sense.

What really disturbs me is how this automagically becomes "OMG RAPE" as opposed to "statutory rape" just because it's dude on dude.

Elmo seems pretty easy to impersonate if they want to hire someone new for the role, or maybe paying the actor for their previous vocal performances and just using old recordings would fly in today's world as long as he isn't still on payroll?

I found Elmo's voice to be very annoying and his laugh to have an odd cavernous quality
