A Christian Brother pedophile described as a “monster” by one of his victims will most likely die in prison after being sentenced to serve an extra six years.
Robert Best, who molested 20 children over two decades at schools across Ballarat, Box Hill, Geelong and Essendon, will not be eligible for parole until mid-2027, when he is 86.
He is already serving 14 years and nine months in jail for sex offences against another 11 boys.
In the County Court of Victoria on Thursday, Judge Geoffrey Chettle described Best’s behaviour between 1968 and 1988 as “abhorrent and disgusting”.
