A Gourdon chip shop owner has gone on trial accused of sexually touching himself and behaving inappropriately towards six female members of staff. Other women who gave evidence told the court they had been warned that Brown was a “creep” by other members of staff. On another occasion, in January 2019, the woman claimed that Brown was touching himself as he drove her back to Gourdon following a shift in the van. The woman told the court that during one such situation, Brown told her: “Oh, you make me so stiff.” Mr Dignan asked her about Brown touching himself while looking at members of staff, describing it as a “bad habit” his client had.
