Morrisey's allegation: At S.F. Airport, an airport security officer "crouched before me and...

...groped my penis and testicles."

Morrissey claims he was sexually assaulted by a security officer who grabbed his genitals after a routine security check at the San Francisco Airport on July 27th, according to a post from the musician on True to You.

The incident reportedly took place around 2:30 p.m. after Morrissey had finished regular security procedure, without problem, and was gathering his belongings. "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."

While Morrissey said he was initially reluctant to lodge a complaint — "as with any complaint against a figure in 'authority,' the complaints are simply collected in order to protect the guilty officer," he wrote — he was convinced to do so by two accompanying members of British Airways Special Services.

But first, Morrissey confronted the officer, identified only as the General Manager on Duty, who responded to his accusations with, "That's just your opinion."

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
and you don't grope Moz's crotch.
