I'm not going to say that I think he's innocent or not, but the first person has already recanted and said they lied about being underaged at the time. Let's not be hasty in throwing around 'child molester', yeah? Those are words that never disappear even if every single person says it was a lie.

Hmm other 2 guys were on gay chat lines. Not entirely innocent themselves. Who can tell the difference between a 15 and 17 year old? Sounds like a money/attention grab by them

Got caught up in the debate about this one elsewhere, some say until Elmo testifies under oath we won't get to the bottom of this one.

This is so sad. I love Elmo and his voice. In fact, I can do a pretty good imitation of his voice myself, but would never qualify for the job. Wow! Hope they can find someone who can do the same voice. It is so distinct. " La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's world! Elmo loves his crayons, and his goldfish too, thaaaaat's Elmo's world! He he he he he he he!" So cute I tell you! I'm sad today!

Look at the middle picture of Cecil. Yeah, that guy sure looks like he is all there! Definitely a face you can trust!

It is not his face but his actions that are being called into question. Gay does not equal guilty.

Very sad. A dark day for Sesame Street and all of its puppeteers and actors that he's worked with. If the accusers are lying they ruined a wonderful thing for children.

I hope he is innocent. If not, it will be a dark day for Sesame Street.

What's next? Santa Claus as a child molester?

Looks like Mitt Romney picked on the wrong Sesame Street denizen.

And let the stereotyped-driven, homophobic "humor" fly unimpeded.

And people were worried that children might be unable to handle this story maturely.... They apparently overlooked the adults.

What a muppet!!! The picture kind of lends credibility to the story. Look at where his hand is and the look of shock on Elmo's face!!

Protip: Do not pose with your hand up a doll's backside.

Guys, Elmo didn't do this, a guy with his hand up Elmo's butt did it. No reason to throw away your kid's toys. They don't have to know about the pervert.

You can't believe in anyone anymore. What's next? Santa Claus as a child molester?
