An inquiry into child sexual abuse has heard that nothing has been done to remove a Marist Brother from the Catholic order, despite the fact he is behind bars.

The Marist Brothers have been at the centre of a public inquiry as part of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

Marist Brother Ross Murrin is in a Sydney jail after pleading guilty to child sex offences in 2008 and 2010.

A man known only as DK has told the inquiry he was abused by Murrin in 1981 at a college at Cairns in Far North Queensland.
