Morrissey Alleges He Was Sexually Assaulted At US Airport

British singer Morrissey has alleged that he was sexually assaulted by a security officer in a San Francisco airport this past week. 

Writing a statement on fan website True To You, the 56-year-old songwriter claims that he was approached by an officer after walking through airport security. 

"Before I could gather my belongings from the usual array of trays I was approached by an "airport security officer" who stopped me, crouched before me and groped my penis and testicles," Morrissey wrote. 

"He quickly moved away as an older "airport security officer" approached."

He went on to say that the alleged groper was revealed to be the general manager on duty at the time and after being encouraged to lodge a complaint by two members of the British Airways Special Services, the officer's response to all claims were "That's just your opinion".

"Apart from "that's just your opinion", he would not comment, even though, since the penis and testicles were mine and no one else's, then my opinion must surely have some meaning," Morrissey continued in the online post. 

"But, of course, what the airport security officer was saying was: your opinion will never count in the eyes of the law...He knew he could be confronted, but he also knew that he could never be challenged (even though the entire incident is most certainly on CCTV camera)."

"In the interests of imperishable bureaucracy my submitted complaint against this 'officer' will obviously be either unread or ignored because, as we all know, on matters of officialism it is not possible to be pleasantly surprised by anything at all."

Morrissey concluded the post by urging people to take extra caution when making their way through that particular airport.
