Paedophile priest David Rapson has been sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison for the rape and indecent assault of six boys in Victoria during the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
The Melbourne County Court heard the boys were as young as 11 or 12 when Rapson abused them at the Catholic boarding school he taught at.
The judge described Rapson as a “sexual predator seeking sexual fulfilment at the expense of young boys”.
He said Rapson displayed “cruelty and violence bordering on being sadistic”.
Rapson will be eligible for parole in 2023.
