A former Queensland Christian Brother has been jailed for the second time for abusing children in Catholic schools.
Brian Dennis Cairns, 72, worked as a Brother, teacher and a school principal during the 1970s and 1980s at four Catholic schools in Brisbane.
In 1985, he was found guilty of 43 offences relating to indecent treatment of children and served four-and-a-half years in jail.
Since then, more victims have come forward.
Last year Cairns was charged with 44 additional offences, the majority relating to his time as a teacher at Iona College during the 1970s.
