DANBURY, Conn. (AP) - 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."

 

Police did not give the name of the disconcerted Santa, but they said he is 65 and felt badly because children were waiting to see him. "He was apparently shocked and embarrassed by the whole incident," Myles said.

 

A man who teaches hundreds of prospective Santas a year - "Santa Tim" Connaghan, president of RealSantas.com - said he's never heard of a similar incident, though it's not unusual for adults to want to pose with Santa.

 

"I've had some very nice ladies sit on my lap," said Connaghan, who did not train the Danbury Fair Santa. "Once in a while they'll say 'I hope Mrs. Claus isn't going to be upset.' You have to be discreet and kind and say 'Oh no, she'll be OK. You can sit here, but only for one photo."'

 

A spokeswoman for Cherry Hill Photo, the company that coordinates Santas for Danbury Fair, declined to comment Tuesday.

Sometimes I wonder what perspective police officers have of humanity - they really hear it all. I mean, seriously, getting that call ...Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted.

 

What was that woman thinking.

What was that woman thinking.

She was probably thinking the poor guy comes once a year.

The New York Post as usual had the best headline for this story. It read:

"Get Your Claws Off My Sack"
