Earlier sexual abuse complaint made by DJs accuser

The accuser in the David Jones Sexual Abuse incident has admitted to making seriel allegations of sexual abuse in the past.
FORMER David Jones publicity co-ordinator Kristy Fraser-Kirk yesterday admitted previously making a complaint against a superior.
While working for the NSW Police Force, she made a complaint about a superior "invading my personal space", The Australian reports.
The admission was part of a pre-emptive strike against a "smear campaign" her publicist claims has been launched against her by Sydney's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper to portray her as a "serial complainer".
In a bid to counteract possible damage a proposed story in tomorrow's The Sunday Telegraph may cause, publicist Anthony McClellan yesterday released a series of questions and answers between the Sydney newspaper and Ms Fraser-Kirk.
The answers reveal Ms Fraser-Kirk worked for the NSW Police's Operational Information Agency between March 2003 and 2005, during which time she made a complaint against a "superior" whom she claimed was "invading my personal space".
She says "this minor issue was totally resolved" in an informal meeting and she continued to work well with the colleague until she left the force.
Ms Fraser-Kirk, 27, launched a $37 million damages claim on Monday against David Jones, claiming she was repeatedly sexually harassed by the department store's former chief executive, Mark McInnes.
Mr McClellan said The Sunday Telegraph's questions were designed to "smear her by snidely implying that she is a serial complainer".
But The Sunday Telegraph editor Neil Breen told The Weekend Australian Mr McClellan was a "first-class spin doctor" who should "calm down a little bit".
"How could it be a smear campaign, when we haven't even run a word?" Breen said. "We haven't snidely implied anything; we have responsibly asked a series of questions and we haven't published anything . . . they are the ones who have made the information public."
