Sesame Street' accuser recants charge of child abuse


By Gary Levin USA TODAY Tue Nov 13, 2012 3:44 PM

The unidentified man who accused Sesame Street's Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of sexual abuse has recanted his account, and now says he was an adult at the time of their relationship.

Attorney Andreozzi & Associates, which acknowledged representing the 23-year-old man, said Tuesday, "He wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship," and said he would have no further comment. The firm has also represented victims of Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky.

"I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest," Clash said in a statement. "I will not discuss it further."

The man had said he and Clash, 52, initiated a sexual relationship seven years ago, at age 16, initiating a storm of media coverage when TMZ.com reported the story Monday. Clash admitted the relationship but denied the man was a minor. "I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was," he said in Monday's statement.

Clash took a leave of absence to refute the charges, and Sesame Workshop said understudies would begin voicing the beloved Muppet character in the interim. The company has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Unfortunately, most people are going to remember the allegations as fact and not hear about the recanting of the allegations. :shake:

My thoughts exactly. This story was out yesterday, no retraction here. I hope the original poster just didn't see the retraction although he/she/it seems to live on the intrawebs day and night. Pretty lame not to post the update.

Still not good that Elmos a homo but he isn't a child molester, at least not in this case.

I wish people like this could be prosecuted somehow.

This kid/guy just ruined the man's reputation.

This kid(young adult now) should face some sort of retribution.

Same with those who knowingly falsely accuse a man of rape. the penalty for that needs to be much more severe.
I'm thinking scarlet letter type shit.

Defamation law suit?

Is it libel as well since it was released in a written statement?

I thought about that, but since he retracted his statement I don't think that will work. However, the damage is done and no amount of money can get Mr. Clash's reputation back, especially considering the line of business he works in.

There needs to be criminal punishment for this type of act, when it is done willfully and knowingly.

Agreed.
