A former priest has been sentenced to 13 years’ jail for the sexual abuse of eight boys at a Catholic college in Melbourne.
David Rapson, 60, will serve at least 10 years in jail after being convicted of nine counts of indecent assault and five counts of rape dating back to the 1970s.
Victorian County Court Judge Liz Gaynor described Rapson as a callous predator whose offending was brazen, manipulative and heartless.
The court heard Rapson would ply students with whisky and cigarettes, entice them with computer games and drug them with lemonade and Milo before he abused them.
