Sesame Workshop says puppeteer Kevin Clash denies the charges, which were first made in June by the alleged partner, who by then was 23. In a statement issued Monday, Sesame Workshop said its investigation found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. But it said Clash exercised “poor judgment” and was disciplined for violating company policy regarding Internet usage. It offered no details. At his request, Clash has been granted a leave of absence in order to “protect his reputation,” Sesame Workshop says. No duration for the leave was specified. Clash has voiced and animated Elmo since the 1980s.[/quote]
What is the age for a sexual relationship to be legal in the US? At least in the UK, it's 16 and older, so I'm kinda confused.
[QUOTE=Stockers678;38421242]What is the age for a relationship not to be underage in the US? At least in the UK, it's 16 and older.[/QUOTE] Varies by state.
Unfortunately, Sesame Street is not one of those shows where you can have relations with the opposite sex of your audience if they like you.

Oh god, take the visual image of Elmo molesting 16 year old guys out of my head aaahhhh
[QUOTE=usaokay;38421365]He looked like a pretty cool guy in the documentary. Hmm[/QUOTE] Keep in mind that this is just an accusation with no evidence being presented in the article.
I wonder if he fists 16 year olds like he does Elmo.

Being Elmo is now ruined forever. It was a good movie too.
[QUOTE=Stockers678;38421242]What is the age for a sexual relationship to be legal in the US?

[video=youtube;B2uthHbwcds]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2uthHbwcds[/video]
so basically elmo will be a different driver for a while
Even if it's not true, this will probably haunt Clash forever. His days as a Muppeteer might be over. This is bad :( He not only gave us Elmo, but also Hoots the Owl, Baby Sinclair (Dinosaurs), and Master Splinter in the first TMNT film. Edit: Really sad. . .he was one of the last Muppeteers to have recieved training from Jim Henson.
Right in the childhood.

[QUOTE=andololol;38421346]Minimum is 16 [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xj8FGEr-3OM/TNlmR7vW8qI/AAAAAAAAAAg/q13wmncQU9c/s1600/map_us_age_of_consent.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] As I recall some states have some really weird shit where there are brackets. I think in CT 16-17 is it's own bracket, but an 18 year old cannot have sex with a 17 year old, or something along those lines. I may be wrong on this though.
[QUOTE=andololol;38421346]Minimum is 16 [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xj8FGEr-3OM/TNlmR7vW8qI/AAAAAAAAAAg/q13wmncQU9c/s1600/map_us_age_of_consent.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] In PA, 16 is the legal age of consent, as long as both parties are minors. Once one party is 18, it becomes illegal.
[QUOTE=Death_God;38440514]its like michael jackson all over again except with less publicity and its been proven wrong before he died[/QUOTE] now elmo just has to change colors from red to blue
[QUOTE=valkery;38441603]In PA, 16 is the legal age of consent, as long as both parties are minors. Once one party is 18, it becomes illegal.[/QUOTE] It's this way in most states that have a 16 or 17 consent I think.
[QUOTE=Valnar;38440515]Just because someone recants doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't happen.[/QUOTE] Like how just because someone says something happened doesn't necessarily mean that it did happen.
[QUOTE=Silikone;38421258]Varies by state.[/QUOTE] Each state has their own age which is different, but federal law states the age of consent is 18, which overrides each state. So it's 18 nation wide.
[QUOTE=Valnar;38440515]Just because someone recants doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't happen.[/QUOTE] Innocent until proven guilty
