A man who has played Santa at many events in Central Pennsylvania has been sentenced for sexually abusing a child. John Paul Kruger has been under investigation for sexually assaulting a minor since last year, according to state police. The 58-year-old pleaded guilty last week to indecent assault of a person less than 13 and corruption of a minor. He was sentenced to up to 23 months with five years' probation. State police want to hear from anyone Kruger may have had inappropriate contact with as they say he interacted with many children in his role as Santa.
