With his lady, Hello Kitty, watching from the gallery, a Times Square Sheriff Woody took the stand at his sex-abuse trial Tuesday and denied he groped three Australian tourists.

“Did you grab any women’s buttocks?” asked defense lawyer Ben Klein, using a Spanish interpreter for the exchange.

“No,” José Vasquez, 45, answered firmly, wearing a blue button-down shirt instead of his usual “Toy Story” attire of cowboy hat, cow-skin-patterned vest, jeans and boots.

He recently formed a new super-hero alliance, hustling for tips with Captain America, Iron Man and the Hulk, he told the judge.

“Did you rub any woman’s backside?” the attorney asked.

“No,” he answered as his longtime girlfriend, who works with him in Times Square, looked on in costume as Hello Kitty. “Was it your intent to gratify your sexual pleasure?”

“No,” Vasquez said.

Vasquez was busted Jan. 9, 2014, after undercover cops allegedly observed him “rubbing his open palm on the buttocks area” of three women who had stopped to pose for pictures with him and his “Toy Story” comrade Buzz Lightyear as well as Minnie Mouse.

He said he initially thought the cops who arrested him were backpackers interested in picking up the pretty women. “I saw two people, they looked like they were looking for adventures with the ladies around,” he testified.

He realized they were cops after they approached and interviewed the three women, he said.

“The people were giving us good tips and they [cops] spoke specifically to the people about giving us the tips,” he said.

The officers cuffed Vasquez, but he didn’t understand what they were saying because he doesn’t speak English, he told Justice Richard Carruthers at the nonjury trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“I thought it was because we were asking for money for the pictures,” he explained.

On cross-examination, prosecutor Jesse Matthews asked Vasquez: “Isn’t it true you told a police officer that the women asked you to grab their rear ends?”

“No,” he replied.

Vasquez admitted he doesn’t pay taxes and neither does his longtime gal pal.

Woody joins a disgraceful rogues gallery of cartoon characters arrested for alleged misdeeds in Midtown ranging from exhortation to assault.

In June, a Hello Kitty, who has no relationship to his beloved, was busted for brawling with a Minnie Mouse over a tip.

At least three Spider-Man impersonators have been collared in recent years, one for walloping a cop.

And a mentally unstable Elmo was tossed in jail for trying to extort $2 million from the Girl Scouts of America.
