Elmo

Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind Elmo, has permanently resigned from 'Sesame Street' following a sex scandal that was made public two weeks ago and, in the midst of new allegations, refuses to go away.

As it turns out, Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash is an innocent man after all -- the 'Sesame Street' veteran was recently accused of having an affair with a 16 year old some seven years ago, but now the accuser has recanted the allegations.
