A former teacher at Perth Catholic schools who sexually abused three vulnerable boys during his decades-long career has been jailed for five years over the “extremely damaging” breach of trust.
Arthur Frank Mowle, 72, preyed on the teenage boys when he was a teacher, nurse and counsellor at the then St Marks College in Bedford in the late 1970s, Servite College in Tuart Hill in the 1980s and Kolbe Catholic College in Rockingham between 2004 and 2005.
District Court Judge Stephen Scott said Mowle — who pleaded guilty to five charges stemming from the royal commission into child sex abuse — stole his victims’ innocence.
