A Victorian judge will sentence an ex-Catholic priest who raped a Year 7 boy on his office floor on the basis “that’s just the way they did it at Salesian”.
Prosecutors told the Victorian County Court on Friday Salesian College Rupertswood appeared to have had a culture of drugging and raping students.
The school’s borders co-ordinator in the late 1980s, Michael Scott Aulsebrook, has been found guilty of raping a boy he enticed into his office with computer games before drugging him.
The Traralgon man, 60, faced a plea hearing on Friday, when Judge Geoffrey Chettle said the victim was also raped by de-frocked predator David Erwin Rapson in a similar manner while at the school.
He said he needed to consider whether to sentence Aulsebrook on the basis he and Rapson discussed their offences.
