47-year old Steve Whitehurst, was buying £400-worth of stuff at Scotts Mens wear, with girlfriend Mandy Shenton, 46, and her 18-month-old grandson when female manager raised an alarm.
Things came to a head at the till when the store manager asked about his bulge. The Window fitter, who claims he often has to roll up his manhood, said: “I had very tight jeans on that day and there was a bulge, yes, but that’s not illegal. I can’t help the way I’m made.
“The manager started arguing with me. She wouldn’t let it go. I just kept telling her that it was my penis.
“Eventually I dropped my trousers in front of everyone and just stood there in my boxer shorts and said, ‘See, I’ve got nothing to hide’.
He called last Sunday’s outing the “craziest experience of my life” and has complained to the company, owned by JD Sports.
Mandy said: “It was so humiliating. What they did to Steve was disgusting.”
Staff claimed the manager who accused Steve of shoplifting was “on holiday”, stressing that they never asked Steve to expose himself and accused him of becoming “aggressive”.
