A former student at a Catholic college in Western Australia has told a Perth court he never spoke to anyone after he was sexually abused 45 years ago because he was “too embarrassed”.
The man was giving evidence in the District Court at the trial of Catholic Bishop Max Davis, who is accused of sexually abusing five boarders at Saint Benedict’s College in New Norica between 1969 and 1972.
Davis was a teacher and a boarding master at the school and in 1971 was ordained a priest.
Most recently he was the Catholic Bishop of the Australian Defence Force but he stood aside from his duties when he was charged two years ago.
