Elmo has been vindicated! Puppeteer Kevin Clash’s accuser takes back his accusations

ByStarcasm Staff

Whew! This situation is still embarrassing for Elmo’s puppeteer Kevin Clash, but the young man he’s had a relationship with has now recanted the accusation that the relationship happened before he was a consenting adult.

The unidentified 23-year-old man, who first claimed that he had a sexual relationship with Clash 7 years ago when he was underage, is taking back what he said after consulting with the law firm that represents some of Jerry Sandusky’s victims. Andreozzi & Associates issued this statement on his behalf:

“He wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship. He will have no further comment on the matter.”

Kevin Clash has made this statements about the accusations:

 “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. 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,”

VIDEO Muppets perform Kanye West’s “Monster” (explicit)
