A bouncer has been suspended after being accused of sexual harassment before telling a woman 'I can do what I want'.
Emily White, 19, was on a night out with friends in Newquay when a doorman outside the Sailors Arms allegedly stared and made comments about her breasts.
When Emily told him she would report the incident, she claims he told her "I can do what I want" and that the pub "won't do anything love".
Despite his claims, the pub said it took immediate action after receiving Emily's complaint and has now suspended the doorman while investigations continue.
Emily, a college student from St Austell, Cornwall, said the bouncer started wolf-whistling and then became more intimidating.

The Sailors Arms in Newquay has now suspended the bouncer
She shared her experience on Twitter and her tweet, which received more than 90,000 likes, was shared 8,000 times.
She wrote: "Was sexually harassed by a bouncer in a night club this weekend.
"So I snapped a photo of his ID, emailed the club, who have emailed his agency, who have begun an official disciplinary investigation.
"He told me, 'I'm a bouncer I can do what I want'. No mate, no you can't."
When Emily told the bouncer she was going to report him, the man "moved his arm out so I could take a picture of his ID".
"That's how cocky he was."
"He thought no-one would challenge him on it," she said. "He was wrong.
"It's not the worst thing that's happened to a girl. It's not even the worst thing that's happened to me.
"But I was able to report it and so I did.
"If the same thing has happened to anyone else, I would urge them to do the same."
A spokesperson for the Sailors Arms said: "Upon hearing of these allegations, an immediate investigation was launched in collaboration with the agency which employs our door staff.
"Until it is complete, the individual in question will not be employed at our door."
Regency Security, the firm that supplies door staff to the venue, declined to comment.
