Former television personality Don Burke is denying multiple allegations of sexual harassment and indecent assault. Several former employees have made allegations against Mr Burke from the time he hosted the Channel Nine T-V show Burke's Backyard, which ran from 1987 to 2004. He says the claims are opportunistic, baseless, and made by former employees with a grudge against him. But one former employee, Louise Langdon, has told the ABC Mr Burke molested her on a work trip.
