I Saw (Some Lady) Groping Santa Claus
Even the jolly, old elf himself isn't safe these days. A Santa at the Danbury Fair Mall (in Connecticut) was allegedly groped by a 33-year old woman. The woman was arrested and charged with sexual assault, so the authorities are taking this seriously.
DANBURY, Conn. – Santa Claus says that a woman who sat on his lap was naughty, not nice. A Santa at the Danbury Fair mall said the woman groped him. "The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted," police Detective Lt. Thomas Michael said of the weekend complaint.
Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, was charged with sexual assault and breach of peace. She was released on a promise to appear in court on Jan. 3.
Police quickly found and identified Lamy because the woman was described as being on crutches, said Capt. Bob Myles.
A call seeking comment from Lamy was answered by a recording Tuesday morning. A woman later called back and said: "It's a false report and I don't have any idea."
The Santa in question, a 65-year old man, was particularly upset about the incident because children were waiting in line. There is no word on how much they might have seen of the incident.
You know, this is the second instance of a Santa being assaulted this year that I know of. The first was the genius film student who thought it would be funny to smash a pie into Santa's face. What the hell is wrong with people?

Note to all Santas:
Santas at Christmas time are for children. Small innocent children.
Santa Warning: Do not let people older than 13 or bigger than 5′8 sit on your lap.
