Elmo puppeteer accused of underage relationship.

Once Cookie Monster is in detox I'll have lost all faith in the world.

The claims against Kevin Clash--Elmo's puppeteer and voice--are unsubstantiated, but awkwardly uncomfortable accusations nonetheless. Clash has been granted a leave from Sesame Street while he defends the claims, and no charges have been filed from authorities.

For the time being, Cookie Monster needs to keep his nose clean. Stay off the cookie crumbs, if you catch my drift.
