Kevin Clash, the guy behind the voice of Sesame Street’s, Elmo was accused of having a sexual relationship several years ago, while the boy was 16 and he was 45. Clash admits to having the relationship, but after the kid had already turned 18. Now, an e-mail from 2010 has surfaced. The e-mail, from Clash to the boy stated, “I’m sorry that I keep talking about sex with you, its driving me insane.” Clash also mentions how he was willing to have his assistant book the young boy a ticket to come out to NY and see him in person. The guy behind the legendary voice has taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street. Drop down bottom for more.
Clash was disciplined by Sesame for sending a personal email from his Sesame Street email account. The email was sent to a man who now claims he had a sexual relationship with Clash when he was 16 and Clash was 45.
In the email — sent well after the accuser turned 18 — Clash writes, “I’m sorry that I keep talking about sex with you, its driving me insane.”
He adds, “I want you to know that I love you and I will never hurt you. I’m here to protect you and make sure your dreams come true.”
Clash continued, “I’ll have my assistant book a ticket for you to come to NY and we can talk about this in person.”
As we previously reported, Clash has acknowledged having a sexual relationship with the accuser but insists it only took place AFTER the accuser was an adult.
Clash has since taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street and says he will focus on fighting the allegations.
