	Salesian Priest Jailed for Less Than a Year over Sex Abuse of Student By Norrie Ross Herald Sun August 22, 2011 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/salesian-priest-jailed-for-less-than-a-year-over-sex-abuse-of-student/story-fn7x8me2-1226119669684 Judge Tim Wood told Michael Aulsebrook, 55, today he had committed a serious breach of trust when he groomed and then abused a 12-year-old boy at Rupertswood Salesian College in 1983. In his sentence the judge revealed that in 1993 a complaint of the sex abuse of another child was made against Aulsebrook and he received counselling from his order but no criminal prosecution. The Salesians then appointed Aulsebrook to the post of principal of St Mark's College in Port Pirie, South Australia, a post he held for nine years. Judge Wood said when the victim went to Rupertswood his mother introduced him to Brother Michael, a decision that later made her feel guilty. Aulsebrook groomed the boy by buying him treats from the tuck shop and over the next seven months took him into his room next to the dorm and sexually abused him.
