Good news for Elmo fans. The young man who claims he had underage sex with Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash has recanted his story. Now he says his affair with Clash was "an adult consensual relationship." He has dropped his case. The announcement came this afternoon after meetings between the respective parties' lawyers. Kevin Clash says, "I am relieved that this painful accusation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further." And I can't blame the guy. I wouldn't want to discuss it, either. Sesame Workshop has backed up their puppeteer, though they did put Clash on leave during the scandal. So now the question is, will Clash return to Sesame Street? Or was the sex scandal, even if it was false, too damaging to Clash's image?Image may be NSFW.
