CONVICTED pedophile Christian Brother Robert Best has failed in a bid to have his convictions overturned.
Robert Charles Best, 70, was jailed for a minimum of 11 years and three months in August last year for molesting young boys during a 20-year period at three Victorian schools.
The shocking history of abuse related to 11 boys he taught at St Alipius Primary School in Ballarat, St Leo’s College in Box Hill, and St Joseph’s College in Geelong between 1969 and 1988.
Among them was a nine-year-old disabled boy who was raped by Best.
The former school principal was found guilty at trial of 21 charges and later pleaded guilty to a further six.
