Catholic Priest jailed for 12 years in Australia for the rape and indecent assault of six boys...

A former Australian priest and school vice-principal has been sentenced to more than 12 years in jail in Victoria.

According to ABC Australia, David Rapson has been sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison for the rape and indecent assault of six boys in Victoria during the 1970's, 80's and 90's.

Melbourne County Court heard that the defrocked priest abused boys as young as 11 or 12 when he taught them at boarding school.

The judge described him as a "sexual predator seeking sexual fulfilment at the expense of young boys," and added that Rapson displayed "cruelty and violence bordering on being sadistic".

Rapson will be eligible for parole in 2023. One of his victims said the verdict had given him closure. Full story...
