Accuser Recants Allegation Against Elmo Puppeteer

"The man who accused KC, the voice and puppeteer of the “Sesame Street” character Elmo, of an under-age sexual relationship has recanted that claim, his lawyer said on Tuesday.

The reversal came a day after the claim was published by the gossip Web site TMZ, threatening Mr. C’s reputation and alarming parents and other fans of the beloved children’s television franchise.

Andreozzi & Associates, a law firm that said it represented the anonymous accuser, said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon that “he wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. C was an adult consensual relationship.” The statement added, “He will have no further comment on the matter.”

Mr. C said through a spokeswoman: “I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further.”"
