A Catholic priest sedated and then raped a boarding student before telling the boy to get out of his office because he was disgusted by the child, a trial has heard.
Michael Aulsebrook was the boarding co-ordinator at Salesian College Rupertswood in Sunbury in 1988, when he is alleged to have raped an 11-year-old boy who he had invited to his office one night to play computer games.
Mr Aulsebrook, 60, has pleaded not guilty to one charge of rape.
In his opening address to a County Court jury on Tuesday, prosecutor Andrew Grant said the alleged victim remembered being given a soft drink as he played computer games, while the priest sat next to him.
The student believed he was drugged, as he woke to find himself lying on the floor with his pants around his ankles and Mr Aulsebrook raping him, Mr Grant said.
Afterwards, the jury was told, the man told the boy: “Get out of my sight, you disgust me.”
