The former Southern Cross Austereo video producer reported the incident to police at the time however met with detectives again in December.
‘Just before Christmas I reopened my case with new detectives and will be standing by the truth,’ Mr Phillips wrote online.
‘I am exploring all options of the law to set precedence for others who may find themselves somewhere in a similar lonely dark journey that can take years to recover from, if at all.’
A NSW police spokesperson told Newscorp, ‘Detectives from Sydney City Police Area Command are conducting inquiries into a reported sexual assault that allegedly occurred in August 2013’.
Mr Phillips said he regrets not pursuing legal action at the time and chose to deal with the incident ‘off the public record’ through the SCA HR department in fear of public and media scrutiny.
