A 62-year-old man with a bushy white beard who played Santa Claus at a Massachusetts mall has been charged with groping a teenager playing an elf and barred from the shopping center.
The pair worked at a Santa photo booth at Hanover Mall in Hanover.
The incident is said to have occurred Saturday afternoon when Herbert Jones, while sitting in his Santa chair, allegedly “reached up and pinched” the buttocks of the 18-year-old woman, according to a police report, The Boston Herald reports.
The woman also told officers that the 275-pound mall Santa had told her in the past: “I wish you were a few years older and I was younger.”
