ANOTHER priest is behind bars for sex crimes against children while teaching at the notorious Salesian College, Rupertswood.
Former students say a sickening club of sex abusers roamed its grand halls and manned its dormitories at Sunbury in Melbourne’s northwest for decades, from as early as the 1950s.
Frank de Dood was for a short while in the 1980s in charge of monitoring the dormitories, and like dorm masters before him took his chance to abuse a young boy as he slept.
The child was one of five boys de Dood has admitted abusing between 1978 and 1983.
Four of the students were abused at the Salesian’s Rupertswood college where de Dood taught between 1981 and 1986.
