Santa Claus Accused of Child Abuse

A beloved Santa from Coventry, Rhode Island, is now facing serious criminal charges after his adoptive teenage son accused him of multiple sexual assaults. The 66-year-old, Curtis Rookstool, was arrested following a 911 call in March, and the child was removed from the home for safety. Rookstool, known for decades as a community Santa, now faces charges including second-degree child molestation and sexual assault. His wife denies the allegations, claiming the boy made them after being disciplined for sending inappropriate messages. Rookstool has been released on bail with strict no-contact orders, and the case remains active as he awaits his court appearance.
