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.

Nope, R&R I had back in...oh July I think it was. This is the end of the tour, 2nd and last one for me. Im going back to Colorado and im going to get out of the Army. Not the lifestyle I want to live for 20 years, and being in an Infantry unit for over 4 years is enough for me. This war is getting old, hell im getting old. I would never take back what I did though and will never regret it.

Ever noticed that at the mention of a chance to be around kids, MM pops up excited and eager to volunteer? Sounds a wee bit on the erotic side to me.
Scary....

Now that's funny right there.
"The Munchkin Man says HO HO HO!" "The Munchkin Man wants to know what you want for Christmas little girl" "The Munchkin Man says MERRY CHRISTMAS!" "Why hello little boy, the Munchkin Man has a third person speaking disorder!"
I wonder how long it would take a five year old to figure out that the Munchkin Man is full of chit? Poor kids, I can just see them after a visit with Munchie Claus, "Mommy, Santa is a mess, please shoot him if he comes down our chimney."

Here's an article from the NY post today with a picture of the victim GET YOUR CLAWS OFF MY SACK! The victim — whom The Post is IDing only as a North Pole resident, age 65 — at work yesterday.
December 19, 2007 -- She's definitely on Santa's naughty list.
Sandrama Lamy, 33, didn't need any mistletoe for what she allegedly did to one stunned shopping mall Santa Claus - plopping down in his lap and groping his jollies.
Police said the 5-foot-4 Connecticut woman took the spirit of Christmas too far when "she had contact with his genitals through his Santa suit" Saturday night, one of the busiest times of the year at the Danbury Fair Mall.
"This is according to Santa," Police Capt. Bob Myles said yesterday. "She approached his chair, sat on his lap and apparently groped him."
Myles described the red-cheeked Kris Kringle as "a 65-year-old gentleman who was shocked and embarrassed for himself and his kids."
The Post will not give Santa's full name because he is an alleged sex-crime victim.
Lamy, hobbled by crutches, was on a line to visit with Santa along with scores of parents and kids.
She claims nothing happened.
"I went to the mall to get my picture taken with Santa. I didn't do anything to him," she told The Post yesterday.
"He's crazy. I did nothing wrong!"
She told the Danbury Times-News that she didn't even sit in Santa's lap.
Lamy said that after the photo was snapped, a woman dressed as Mrs. Claus told her to "Be careful, that's my husband." I said, 'What does that have to do with the picture?' That's all I said and I left."
Lamy said she didn't think anything more about it until a few hours later, when she was stopped by cops in the mall and issued a summons for sexual assault and breach of the peace.
Yesterday, the assaulted Santa was back on the job but refused to talk about the encounter.
A professional Kris Kringle - Tim Connaghan of schoolforsantas.com - said he was stunned.
"Santas are not trained for this at school," he said. "We talk about children who wet your knee and step on your shoes or babies that kick you in a sensi tive area. Maybe they pull your beard once in a while, but this is a real surprise," he said.
