A 33-year-old woman was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault Saturday after allegedly groping a man playing Santa Claus at the Danbury (CT) Fair mall. Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault, according to Danbury Detective Lt. Thomas Michael.
"Hey, Santa! Is that your doinker?"
"It's my lap, ain't it?" |
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, referring all other questions about the incident to Cherry Hill Photo, the company that runs the Danbury Fair mall Santa photo setup. Cherry Hill Photo did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

According to information provided by the Danbury Police Department, officers were dispatched to the mall Saturday at 8:45 p.m. The mall Santa told police that Lamy touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap.
| She was 33 years old. How'd she get in his lap without an invitation? |
"The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted," Michael said.
| "And whaddyou want for Christmas, little girl?... Oh. That? Don't you have a husband?... Well, hurry up. There's a line." |
Lamy was also charged with breach of peace. "She must have caused a commotion over there," Michael said.
| Made him squeal like a piggy, she did! |
Lamy was released on a promise to appear Jan. 3 in Danbury Superior Court. Danbury Fair mall spokeswoman Melissa Eigen called the alleged groping "an isolated incident."
| "Yeah. Most of our customers keep their hands in their own laps." |
"The safety of our guests and employees is a top priority, and we strive to create a safe and enjoyable shopping environment at all our facilities and Danbury Fair specifically," Eigen said. |
