Alleged victims have come forward claiming to have been sexually abused at a Marist Brothers boarding school in country Victoria.
The male students were aged between 11 and 15 at the time of the alleged abuse.
They have spoken to police claiming they were sexually abused while at St Patrick’s College in Sale during the 1970s and 1980s.
Detectives from the unit set up to investigate historical cases of sexual assault say the Catholic school was set up as a boys only boarding school at the time when the incident occured and there may be others outside the Sale area who may have been affected.
Sano Taskforce Detective Inspector Stephen Dennis said people who prey on children would be investigated no matter how many years have passed.
