A former Christian Brother could die in jail over sex crimes against underprivileged, vulnerable boys in Victoria more than 40 years ago.

William Stuart Houston, 77, abused six boys when he was their supervisor at the St Augustine’s Orphanage, Highton, in the 1960s.

He prowled around some victims after lights went off in the dorm, rubbing his bristly face on theirs, kissing them, sticking his tongue in their mouths and lying on top of them.

Houston exposed and rubbed himself on other victims, and touched boys’ crotches.

He told one boy: “Don’t tell anyone. That’s right, you can’t tell anyone because you’ve got no one.”
