ELMO'S VOICE ACCUSER LIKES MONEY!

The voice of ELMO, Kevin Clash - who was named in an underage sex scandal - paid out $125,000 to his accuser... under the condition that he recant his allegations against the actor!

TMZ has the details of the legal agreement which can be found here.

It's unclear how ELMO and SESAME STREET will explain this latest lesson to kids.
