A pedophile with a passing resemblance to Santa Claus is playing life on easy mode. Come the festive season, parents queue up to put their kids right onto their laps for what appears to be innocent fun, little knowing the sick pleasure that’s being had.
Enter 68-year-old Thomas Allen Hicks of Polk County, Florida. He’s a longtime Santa impersonator who was “well-regarded” in the Santa community (which is apparently a thing). When he’s not doing that, he’s a registered Republican, has been a preacher for more than 40 years, and works for a mental health and drug abuse clinic.
