The sex abuse scandal at St Patrick’s College in Sale has widened, with police investigations focusing on more former employees of the school.
Detectives from the child-exploitation Sano Taskforce revealed last week that they were investigating claims of sexual abuse at the former boarding school in south-east Victoria in the 1970s and 1980s.
Since then, the taskforce has received “many calls” relating to new complaints of child abuse at the Catholic school that implicate a number of former school employees.
Previously investigators were focusing their attention on one offender.
Detectives interviewed an 87-year-old Sale man last Thursday, but he was later released pending further enquiries.
