A Christian Brother left a trail of broken boys behind him. Jarrod Luscombe was one of them, but now he’s helping pick up the pieces and seek justice.

For a long time, Jarrod Luscombe thought he was the only one.

The only one sexually abused as a teenager by the Christian Brother he was once proud to consider his mentor, Brother Daniel Virgil McMahon.

For years he repressed the memory but when it came back, his life as a happily married father-of-two imploded.

“The effects were brutal. Post traumatic stress disorder, severe depression, exceptionally suicidal for years,” he said.

“I was heavily medicated — I think I rattled when I walked. Every aspect of my life was affected.
