Christian Brother in Australia gets 14 years for abusing 11 boys...

Pedophile rapist Christian Brother Robert Best has been jailed for 14 years and nine months after pleading guilty to abusing 11 Victorian boys.

Best, 70, pleaded guilty in May to 27 sexual assaults of boys at schools he taught at between 1969 and 1988.

Best initially contested the charges, with his defence funded by the Catholic Church.

The offences occurred at St Leo's Christian Brothers College at Box Hill, St Joseph's College in Geelong and St Alipius at Ballarat where, as the principal, raped a nine-year-old student.

Sentencing Best in the Victorian County Court on Monday, Judge Roy Punshon ordered he serve 11 years and three months in jail before he is eligible for parole.

As he was led from the dock, a woman called out "(expletive) arsehole" while a man yelled at him "you're a dirty (expletive) dog".

Another man said "suck it up" and a woman called him a maggot as Judge Punshon called for decorum in the courtroom. More...
