Elmo Puppeteer cleared of Sex Abuse Charges
Kevin Clash aka the voice of Elmo for almost 30 years, recently was cleared of all sex abuse claims filed against him. Although the case was thrown out last summer, the victims attempted to make an appeal, only to be turned away probably due to statute of limitations claims.
That said, the victims can take solace in the fact that Kevin is no longer the voice of Elmo amid said allegations and I’m willing to bet he will have a tough time finding any sort of job in his line of work for the foreseeable future.

There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
