Tis The Season To Discuss Costumed Crimes

It wouldn't be the Christmas season if I didn't post at least one bad Santa story ..... 
 
Bearded Santa Pervert Brought His Own Beard To The Party
Mr Finn Brought His Own Beard To The Party ....
 
..... so this year its a Santa from last year, Raymond Finn.
 
Mr Finn, a 71 year old working as Father Christmas for an entertainment firm in Northumberland, England. He was dressed as Santa in a pub when smacked the bottom of one woman, then pushed his groin against her. I assume he wanted her to feel his Santa's sack. 
 
He then approached another woman in a club, and tried to push his body against her as well. Both women complained and he was arrested, as well as being sacked by his employer. When the case came to court, he was found guilty of  three counts of sexual assault by a jury at Newcastle Crown Court, and he was sentenced to four months prison (suspended for 18 months).
 
But while I am on the subject of costumed criminals, I should point out that some of these costume stories involve violent thugs, and so have real victims and real consequences. For instance a thug in a Spider Man costume (as well as others dressed as Ali G and another as Batman), knocked out a female ASDA supermarket worker at a store in Clapham Junction South London after shouting "Come on bitch".

He kicked her in the head and then punched her leaving her unconscious on the ground. She had apparently been grappling with one of his female companions, who was also in a costume, after he had started kicking out at other customers .... During the chaotic scenes, a wheelchair user was pulled away as he swung a punch towards someone on the floor. In the  all out fighting that ensued, weapons were used as one man beat another with a blunt instrument in his hand, while the Spider Man costumed man was seen violently swinging a crutch towards someone in the crowd.
 
When the police arrived, they arrested two females aged 17 and 18, and two men aged 35 and 37 for assault. Another man aged 31 was also arrested for causing bodily harm. They have since been released on bail. Although how is bailing them out on to the streets going to protect anyone from these animals is beyond me.
 
I sincerely hope that the judge and court get to see this animal and his friends in action (as is usual these days, videos are on the web), when they come to trial, because he and his animal pack need to be locked away for a very long time .... but somehow I suspect they won't be.
