Cops: Woman Groped Mall Santa Claus

(CBS/AP)  A woman was charged with sexual assault after allegedly groping Santa Claus at a shopping mall.

Sandrama Lamy, 33, faces fourth-degree sexual assault and breach of peace charges.

Danbury police were called to the mall over the weekend. The mall Santa told them Lamy had touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap.

"The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted," Danbury Detective Lt. Thomas Michael said.

Lamy has been released on a promise to appear in court on Jan. 3.

A message seeking comment was left on Lamy's answering machine Tuesday morning. A woman at that number called back to say, "It's a false report and I don't have any idea."

"Santa Tim" Connaghan, president of RealSantas.com, teaches hundreds of prospective Santas a year and 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," Connaghan said. "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."'

"I don't know what the deal was. It was just bizarre," the mall Santa said, referring all other questions about the incident to Cherry Hill Photo, the company that runs the Danbury Fair mall Santa photo op, according to the Danbury News-Times.

Gramma,Dear Yer right this nation has become sue happy. Men are aways in heat. Men do brag about sexx. Boys and girls are different. Boys are taught to hunt for female. By hunt I mean they chase her,force her to have babies, That was what we were taught. Man first woman 2rd. Mothers treat the child a certain way..the word gender. Girls fussed over dressed up pretty marriage, childen that was it . Boys they are not fussed as they will be head of the home,bread winner.warrior,etc. Boys came first in every thing. If a girl broke the ruled they labled her not w/t/program..WE HAVE A BRAIN TOO. In my day boy at school did not grabbed me. They knew better. I was raised if I got something to to ye I will say to ye. Gramma a blind man use to call me a name based on my name. I told him not to. Boss don''t pay no attn to. He stopped. But paws off in the sexx area. Men have a problem with the word no when a lady saids it. They do. If we are going stop this,then we teach boys yer don''t. The mixed messiages stop. My world is the blind vs the sighted.

Wow...what double standards we have! When I joined the work force in the early 70''s...my boss''s elderly father worked with me and rubbed his woody against me every chance he could get. Yes it was wrong and yes it was disgusting...but I didn''t run to the nearest lawyer to sue. I just glared at him with disgust. He eventualy realized he wasn''t getting anywhere and gave up. I wasn''t marred from it for life, it was a learning experience for me that there are all kinds of people out there....some good and some bad. People are too sue happy today.

Try to be knowledgeable.
Regardless of the nonsensical rubbish being promoted, men and women ARE DIFFERENT!

Therefore, all behaviors CANNOT apply equally.
One cannot get ''equality'' out of differences.

So unless the female was being deliberately devilish and destructive to the family jewels, a real man WOULD NEVER complain, and to the police at that, to look stupid!

Females have been getting more brazen because males (the naturally more dominant gender) foolishly let females loose in the society; so to turn around and complain, makes the man look foolish.
A wise judge will just send the female home.

It was an inappropriate thing for her to do and she should know better. If it were a woman who was groped, they would have hauled Santa off to jail in a heartbeat. You know how sexist we men are.

She must''ve been a fat pig for him to have complained.

There is a funny side yer words..I think part of the problem is in US of A there is more sexx pushed in our face.. Women half covered, men with little on. Santa is an icon..No adults should not sit on/in his lap.
