A former Catholic brother who smiled after abusing boys at a Victorian college more than 30 years ago has been jailed.
Edward Mamo, 71, was working as a groundskeeper, bus driver and sports coach when he abused 14 teenagers in the laundry room of Monivae College at Hamilton in the 1970s and 1980s.
He used a strap or cane to whip some over their bare buttocks and grabbed the genitals of others.
Mamo will spend 12 months behind bars after being handed a jail sentence of 34 months, suspended for 22 months, in the County Court of Victoria on Friday.
The court heard Mamo would punish boys for smoking cigarettes, even though he wasn’t authorised to carry out corporal punishment.
