REM, Utah — It’s described as she-said, Santa-said. No matter who’s right, the Santa at University Mall has been replaced.
A woman accused the mall’s Santa Claus of making an inappropriate comment to her teenage daughter last week.
Mall officials “found that the claims of the mother ... differed considerably from those of Santa and the witnesses there,” general manager Rob Callas said.
But to avoid any problems, the mall sent Santa packing and called in a replacement.
Santa is always in the company of two other people when he greets children, Callas said.
