A former religious Brother, Edward Mamo (born 26 September 1944), appeared in court on 6 February 2012, charged with offences allegedly committed against boys at Monivae College, a Catholic secondary school, at Hamilton, 290 kilometres west of Melbourne.
Mamo, residing in Sydney, first appeared in Campbelltown Local Court in western Sydney. The charges were laid by detectives from the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Unit in Warrnambool, Victoria, who had gone to Sydney to interview Mamo.
The charges comprised 12 incidents of indecent assault on males, allegedly committed against seven boys at Monivae College in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Mamo was allegedly working there as a religious Brother.
The Campbelltown Court granted bail to Mamo pending further court proceedings, to be held in Victoria.
