Mall Santa gropes 18-year-old female elf

HINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — A man who played Santa Claus at a Massachusetts mall has been barred from the shopping center after he was charged with groping an 18-year-old woman playing an elf.

Herbert Jones was released on $1,000 bail after pleading not guilty Monday to indecent assault and battery. A judge ordered him to stay away from the Hanover Mall and barred him from playing Santa anywhere pending the outcome of his case.

Police say the woman called them Saturday to report that the 62-year-old Jones had pinched her buttocks and made suggestive comments. The two worked at a Santa photo booth.

Jones, who has a real bushy white beard, denied touching the woman to police and mall management.

>A single man old man gropes a an 18-year-old.
>The fact that they were costumes during their jobs make it count as news.

I think the fact that someone wrote about it is more depressing than the story itself.

The fact that you're involved with writing made me have to correct you... For shame...

Are you really fucking concerned with grammatical correction in IB? I'm the only one who can do that, you fake piece of shit. You're not even worth a piece of shit; you're just nothing.

Also, I had to correct "have to" because you had one extra space between them. It looked fucking awful.

First, after "made" the tense was established (read the elements of style and that would be apparent), had would be incorrect, second, I'm on a cell phone with a cracked screen (the space key occasionally sticks since there's a fissure over it), lastly, I can sense a kindred spirit in you. You're alright in my books.

You're alright in my books as well. At least I know someone can use proper English.

It's the only language I really know, so I may as well use it correctly. My French however, is atrocious.

While I don't condone his actions...

10,000 dollars? Really? I make that working like 3 months part time minimum wage and I could be fined that for pinching a girl in the buttocks?

/where do you fucking work at with min wage for 3 months part time equals 10,000?
You have to work 1250 hrs to do that at 8/hr.
