Elmo Might've Done Sex With A 16-Year-Old Boy

As maids platinum leaf the sideburns on anti-muppet super villain Mitt Romney and his assistants apply a fresh coat of liquified elephant ivory on his teeth, he is softly hahahahahahaha-ing to himself. Because his plan to destroy those government-mooching lazies at Sesame Street might've failed, but it doesn't really matter since Sesame Street is slowly imploding with no help from him. It's a sad day for everyone when there's a chance that when you go to the National Sex Offender Registry and type in "Sesame Street," Elmo's picture will pop up!

TMZ says that Elmo is mute today, because his voice, Kevin Nash, took a leave of absence from Sesame Street after a now 23-year-old accused him of partaking in statutory rape shit 7 years ago. The accuser claims that when Kevin Nash was 45 and he was 16, they regularly had sex together. The accuser went to Sesame Workshops this past June and said that Elmo tickled him wrong when he was 16. After his first meeting with the head bitches of Sesame Workshops, the accuser thought they were trying to shut his lips, so he hired the law firm of Andreozzi and Associates, the same firm that represented one of Jerry Sandusky's victims, to represent him. Sesame Workshop released this statement:

"In June of this year, Sesame Workshop received a communication from a young man who alleged that he had a relationship with Kevin Clash beginning when he was 16-years-old. This was a personal relationship, unrelated to the workplace. We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action.

Kevin insists that these allegations are false and defamatory and he has taken actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so.

Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of Sesame Street to engage, educate and inspire children around the world."

Sesame Workshop officials are still standing by Kevin Clash, because they say they asked the accuser to cough up some proof and he hasn't. The accuser did give Sesame Workshop an e-mail that Kevin Clash allegedly sent to him, and in the e-mail Kevin admits to screwing on him when he was just 16, but they think the e-mail is a work of fraud. Sesame Workshop did find out that Kevin Clash used his company e-mail account to write his accuser a few times, but apparently he doesn't mention anything about illegal sex stuff in his e-mails.

Kevin tells TMZ that he did have a sexual relationship with his accuser, but it was completely consensual and his accuser was of legal age at the time. Kevin says that he's sad that his accuser is trying to smear his G-rated image for whatever reason.

Well, isn't this just a scalding cup of FUCKED UP.

No, I don't know why the accuser didn't go directly to the police instead of going to Sesame Workshop,  but I still have a feeling this isn't going to end well for Kevin Clash. We now all know that the fist that is always up Elmo has boned a teenager and probably made Elmo voices while doing so. I have a Tickle-Me-Elmo doll and now every time that creepy thing laughs, I'm going to think of Kevin making the same laugh as.... Oh, forget it. Let's not EVER go there. It's always too early for that.

And coming this holiday season: Sex-You-Up Elmo.

In either case, sex with someone 3 or 4 years out of their age range is definately a preditory situation any kid is going to grow to regret.
_____________________________________________________

I hope you mean 3 to 4 times their age. 3-4 years is neither predatory, nor a huge age difference. I lost it at 16 to a 19 year old. No big deal (and legal in my state). I knew what I was doing and was prepared for it. I've never regretted it.

Lol, yeah, college turned my ho switch ON. All of a sudden decided that I just wanted this disease called virginity off of me already! I'm amazed today how detached I was, but I had so much else to focus on, and there were so many people to socialize with. The loneliness and difficulty of adult life is so sad in comparison.

@cashew

Completely agree. Although I had major crushes on certain people in H.S., everything was romantised in my mind and the thought of having sex with someone I wasn't completely and hopelessly in love with was incomputable to me much less sex with some wrinkled piece of leather who couldn't possibly have anything in common with me and I think a lot of girls felt the same way.

College though was a whole different game, its like a switch flipped and I could totally imagine sex without love.

Since the history of time, whenever a jilted lover contacts a person's place of business, said lover is looking to stir some shit up and get someone fired. If a crime was committed, the police should have been the first group the victim contacted, not the corporation that employs the "perpetrator." That is, unless the "victim" himself is perpetrating a crime.

My guess is the former 16 year old is a Craigslist hustler who told his story about fucking Elmo to one too many friends and they hatched a scheme to get rich. Just like happened in the case of the intern's boyfriend who tried to blackmail David Letterman, the details of this case will all come out in the wash. Sadly, though, I think Elmo's going to get a new voicebox, because Sesame Street's brand will not be able to survive statutory same-sex rape allegations of one of its best-loved baby monsters.

Note to all: 17 is the age of consent in New York, not 18.

Thank you Girl. I love Elmo. I have a whole room dedicated to him. My kids are sooooo laughing at me right now.

Well, the whole scenario is pretty icky, but I can't help but wonder if Elmo was involved too.

To add to Green Tea's comment, I think that whole "most teenagers are sexually active" thing is a myth also, and I was always confused by it because that's just not what I saw around me. I went to a regular suburban high school in the states, and I don't think it happened for a lot of people until about 18. At my university, freshman year was the year a bunch of people lost their virginity. Kids in Europe do seem to mature faster, but I don't think one system is better, and I wish people would stop judging Americans for wanting kids to stay kids. Let them focus on soccer and SATs and kid stuff until college. And just because a young girl or guy looks mature, doesn't mean they're ready. My friend who were hit on by older guys were always the voluptuous girls who got boobs at around 12, but physical development doesn't equate to emotional/psychological, and I wish more assholes understood that. 16 year olds, and hell, even a lot of 21 year olds, should be allowed to be kis and not be targeted by olds a lot of them are not ready for. And While I envied that my older man dating friends had better sex and went on nicer dates, I'm glad to have been able to goof off for a longer time. Being sexually mature at a young age is overrated, IMO.

As for this perv, I hope it's not true. Kids today are reading news on the interwebs at such a young age, and they don't need to be hearing this, and neither do their parents.

Lurker's picture

What I want to know, is how did he meet this kid? If Nash hit him up on the show, and used his power/influence as a way to get him into bed -thats one thing- BUT I could actually sympathize with Nash if he met this kid somewhere else, and he said he was 18.

It's still kinda gross with an 18/45 relationship, but totally legal, and very probable that a 16 year old could be mistaken for an 18 y.o.

Hekki's picture

My biggest question is: Why did the kid go to Sesame Street brass?

If he just went to them to rat out Clash, he is probably looking for a payday.

But what if he was a kid on the show, and the diddling happened on premises? That changes things, doesn't it?

I'm giving Clash the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't illegal -- for NOW.

He still gets the side-eye for fucking on a person SO much younger. 16 and 45 is a HUGE difference.

I've already seen a "this is what our hard earned tax dollars are paying for on PBS" bullshit post on FB. Sex with a child is wrong, plain and simple. But circumventing the proper authorities for whatever reasons doesn't exactly look right here, either.

Kevin Clash was very briefly married to the mother of his daughter, Shannon, who I believe is now in her early 20s. He may not have been officially "out" because who wants to know what sessy times their beloved children's show performers favor? At first glance, I'd say this is more about the 23 year old looking to publicly ruin Clash. It's really a shame because being a puppeteer or in this case, muppeteer, is not easy. It's actually really hard work and Kevin worked his way up through the ranks. He was known not only to make it appear effortless, but as a quick wit and great ad-libber, too. Watch any of the muppets being "interviewed" and you'll usually see some really funny, off-the-cuff stuff.

Don't we all wonder about people who hang-out/date people so much younger? When I see some 50 year old man with a 20 year old woman, I think the guy has some issues.

I know a lot of women who had affairs with older men who regretted them when they were older. Don't know how it fits in the gay community.

Oh lawd! We still don't know the particulars, or the truth for that matter. It seems like now days the information alone makes the person automatically guilty in everyone's eyes. As far as Kevin defending himself it like I always say 'Sue or it's true'.

This is a very disturbing scenario, to say the least. I agree with others - we don't know enough about this particular case yet, but I will say that for a 45 year old man (at the time of the alleged inception of this relationship) to engage in sex with a 16 year old (boy or girl) is just ALL sorts of totally fucked up wrong on so many levels.

I don't give a crap HOW mature a 16 year old teen is, the simple fact is that a 45 year old should damn well know NO!

Whether this accuser is simply out to extort (why didn't he go to the police as opposed to Sesame Street producers?)Or is suffering from latent emotional distress - just sayin' - remains to be seen.

Whatever the outcome, it's game over for Kevin Clash. And to add insult to injury, is he not married with a child?

Big Rex you're still hot as fuck but i'll have to disagree with you guv'nah on your stance about sex being least important... well to be fair for some folks that is the case. For me and many of the other 'some folks' we like the sessytimes and it rates up there. In a absolute perfect world love/sex/fidelity would would nicely packaged and hand delivered whenever your ready doing a hoe stroll (not you personally, but i know during my gap year all i needed was my passport, trainers and ipod) after I 'matured' I got married ...i do think though for some of us we gotta that fire in the belly

I agree with whoever said 16 doesnt mean the same thing for everyone, there are some 16 year olds who are more mature than most 24 year olds who are open to and curious about sex while others still think guys carry cooties.

In regards to this particular case I don't think we know enough yet.

As far as statutory rape in general: can't people wait any more? Whether the age assigned to it is right or wrong the law exists. If it's consensual and the encounter will truly mean something why not wait until they are of legal age? I hate that this society is so NOW NOW NOW. Think of it like an item you really want to buy but don't have money for. Does it mean so much to you to have it right now that you're willing to do something illegal, like steal it, and go to jail if you get caught or not?

It's not defamatory if the accuser just wrote to Sesame Workshop; it might be if he also held a presser.

There are a lot of possible explanations why an alleged victim would wait 7 years to accuse the adult, ranging from suppressed memories to money to vengeance at being jilted.

Whats sick even if it happened when of legal age is going after some one 30 years younger than you. Guess some people can't handle real feelings and maturity...

Hate to argue on the interwebs, BUT any qualified psychologist worth their weight can tell you no one under 17 is prepared to deal with the consequences/feelings that come with sexual activity. Furthermore oversexualized teens and most losing their virginity by 15-16 is a myth! The number of sexually active high schoolers has always fluctuated between 33-40 percent for the past 30 years. That's not even close to half or a majority.

Yes America is puritanical blah blah blah, the law is the law! Is it really that hard to not sex up teens?!

Sex is more than the physical act--it is more emotional than anything. How many adults even can handle the emotions that come with sex?

---------------------------------

Very few gay men I know consider sex and expression of love. Sex is sex. Love is love. Most gay couples I know are open or at least play together. I think the point is - everyone has their own definition of what sex is and what it entails. And the problem is that people mature differently and at different speeds. Everyone is unique. That is the problem with an age of consent - where do you draw the line? You must in any case agree that 18 is too high. Why? Because people WILL have sex when they want, no matter what the age of consent is. Very few people wait until they are 18.

It has just as much to with intellectual compatibility and maturity as much as age. And the law. It's just inconceivable to me that a grown person would want to do sexual things to a kid.
