THE former vice-principal of a Catholic school who sexually preyed on young boys over two decades has been jailed.

David Edwin Rapson, 60, was today sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment for seriously sexually assaulting eight young boys during the 1970s and 1980s.

Seven of the boys were boarders at an outer-suburban college that cannot be named for legal reasons.

The County Court heard today as early as 1977 Rapson was undertaking wholesale drugging of a group of boys in order to subdue them.

He would ply them with cigarettes and alcohol before either indecently assaulting or raping them.
