First Petraeus, now Elmo. Sesame Street revealed in a statement that Kevin Clash, the voice behind Elmo, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old. The show was told by a 23-year-old boy that he had an underage relationship with Clash years ago. Clash, 52, denied the allegations, saying that his relationship with the accuser was “between two consenting adults.” Sesame Street says that it has conducted an investigation with all parties involved, and so far the accusations seem “unsubstantiated.” Clash will take a leave of absence.
