I Saw Mommy Groping Santa Claus
What kind of sick society do we live in? From the Danbury News-Times (via Drudge):
A 33-year-old woman was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault Saturday after allegedly groping a man playing Santa Claus at the Danbury Fair mall.Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault, according to Danbury Detective Lt. Thomas Michael.
She sounds like a total.... ho ho ho.
Details leading up to the alleged fondling are sketchy. "I don't know what the deal was. It was just bizarre," the mall Santa told a reporter...The mall Santa told police that Lamy touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap. "The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted," Michael said.
Put Ms. Lamy on the "naughty" side of the ledger.
2007 has not been a great year for mall Santas. Earlier this month in Missoula, Mont., a mall Santa was assaulted with a pumpkin pie. Meanwhile, a department store Santa in Australia claims he lost his job earlier this month because he said "Ho, ho, ho." (His bosses had asked him to say "Hi, hi, hi.")"Santa Tim" Connaghan is the president of RealSantas.com and teaches hundreds of people a year how to be Santas. He said the Danbury Fair mall incident, if true, is one of kind. Santas usually have to worry about kids tugging beards and teens throwing pennies from the mall rafters.
"I've had some very nice ladies sit on my lap," Connaghan said.
Over at the Connecticut Employment Law Blog, Daniel Schwartz offers an analysis of potential employer liability under this fact pattern.

Guys at my high school used to get groped by middle aged women with made-up names while playing santa all the time, it was no big deal.

Mrs. Clause may have had something to do with the allegations: http://www.newstimes.com/latestnews/ci_7751062

I'd image this is the most action a mall santa gets in his life. What the hell is he complaining about? If you don't like it, tell the ugly bitch to stop don't file a law suit.

What a nasty collection of trolls dominate the ATL comments.
You all deserve coal in your stockings on Christmas morning.

Santas can't say "Ho ho ho" any more? What kind of PC bullshit is that? As long as they don't precede it with "nappy-headed," it should be fine.

Define groping

Publishing her new name and her old name is incredibly lame. If she wants to put it behind her and have a chance of continuing in her profession, why should they blow up her spot?
That's her judge's job.

4:53, most mall Santas are pedophiles, so this would be like a gay grabbing a straight guy's junk. It would be unwelcome, even if the straight never got laid.

Wait, did K&E no-offer her for groping Santa? Why has no one brought this up? !!!

Unless she grabbed Santa's dick and refused to let go, its hard to emagine criminal charges here. Unless Mrs. Claus lodged the complaint.
