Hm.  Can't figure out if this guy is a victim of homopobia, a pedophile, or the victim of false charges of pedophilia.

Seems to me Clash is similar to our very own Grallon - gay man (and now an older gay man) with an interest in post-pubescent young men.

I suppose you can make the case that he is a victim of homophobia - these relationships appear to be outside of the age of consent, and he didn't use his position with Sesame Street, so they are legal, consentual relationships.

However, given the obvious age disparities, and by being a public figure for being the voice of children's icon Elmo, I think his behaviour is of a sort where I understand why Sesame Street didn't want to be associated with him.

Do you think that would still be the case if he was accused of having sex with underage females, but the women involved had recanted and admitted that they didn't have sex with him until they were adults?

Yes.

I agree with BB. After all, with the first allegation, Sesame Street stood firmly by him and through the recanted statement. It was only around the time of the 2nd accusation that their support wavered.

When did this Seedy exist and about when did he die?  :(

RIP 1995

So then in 1996 you married the Ravens, a la Elizabeth I.

Well yes he would be a hero in Euroland.  But he would still be fired from Sesame Street.
