Vicki - There is no evidence from HANZAB Vol.1 that wild Emus have any sexual interest in humans whatsoever. I have a secondhand anecdote from several years ago that a captive male Emu (Monash University, Dept of Zoology) was attracted to people wearing the colour blue, and tried to mount them on occasion. For pathological sexual behaviour in captivity, you could probably get information from a comprehensive Emu farming manual. Cheers, Hugo.
