Kevin Clash, Elmo Puppeteer, Resigns
Kevin Clash, the longtime voice and puppeteer behind Sesame Street’s Elmo character, has resigned in the aftermath of allegations that he had underage sexual relationships.
Mr. Clash was first accused last week of sexual improprieties by a 24-year-old man who later recanted. That man has remained anonymous.
The announcement of Mr. Clash’s resignation came at around the same time that a lawsuit was filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan accusing him of “sexual activity” with a second accuser, Cecil Singleton, 24, who was 15 at the time the alleged relationship started. The suit said that Mr. Singleton “did not become aware that he had suffered adverse psychological and emotional effects from Kevin Clash’s sexual acts and conduct until 2012.” It sought $5 million in damages.

Apparently, Elmo wasn't the only one who was getting Clash's fist up his backside.
