The ABC and Fairfax have published allegations from multiple women who worked for Burke. Among the worst were that Burke groped their breasts without consent – a potential criminal offence that can carry jail time.
One woman said Burke showed her footage of a sex act involving a donkey.
“I have never even seen a donkey bestiality video, and would never try to show someone,” he said. “I don’t know how these tales have grown after people have left us.”
The ACA interview was the first time Burke had revealed publicly that he believes he has Aspergers, a mild form of autism, which inhibits his ability to read body language.
