What was surprising about the young victim coming forth was that he actually LIVED to
tell the tale! Once they're done mauling and debauching them, the HomoGays and LezzieLoos usually use the "fresh meat" that they kidnap in ritual sacrifices.
This one somehow escaped.

Elmo Puppeteer Accused of Underage Relationship
R
Kevin Clash, the voice and puppeteer of Elmo on “Sesame Street” for more than two decades, took a leave of absence from the show on Sunday after an unsubstantiated report that he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
The news threw one of the most trusted preschool properties into turmoil as the show’s nonprofit producer, Sesame Workshop, moved quickly to protect the 43-year-old brand, estimated by Forbes to be worth more than $500 million.
Elmo is one of the PBS program’s most famous Muppets, with his own 11-minute segment called “Elmo the Musical” in each daily show.
Mr. Clash’s leave was granted Sunday after it became clear that the Web site TMZ was planning to run an article. It was given so that Mr. Clash, 52, could “deal with this false and defamatory allegation,” Sesame Workshop said in a statement.
H. Melvin Ming, the president and chief executive of Sesame Workshop, called the accusation damaging to the company. “There is such a close association to Elmo as being the rock star of preschoolers, so any association with something that is perceived and in reality is behavior not becoming to a puppet will have some difficulty for us,” Mr. Ming said in a phone interview.
In a statement, Mr. Clash said he had a relationship with the accuser, who is now 24, that “was between two consenting adults,” and added, “I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not.”
Mr. Ming said he was confident that the show — and the character — would survive. “We’ve been through the abrupt demise of Jim Henson,” creator of the Muppets, “and the passing of our beloved Count,” he said. “Our characters are bigger than a voice or hand.”
