In a matter of hours, Kevin Clash’s career as the voice of Elmo was ruined by a 24-year old man who accused him of sexual relationship when he was just 16 years old. Well now it looks like the accuser is backtracking his story.

Andreozzi & Associates, the law firm representing the unknown accuser, said in a statement that “he wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship.” And, “he will have no further comment on the matter.”

SMH! And with social media, this rumor spread like wildfire!

Kevin Clash was quoted saying “I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further”
