The Catholic Church in Australia harboured the paedophile priest Brian Joseph Spillane throughout his career, enabling him to commit sexual crimes against children. Father Spillane's victims were mostly boys who were assaulted while he ministered at St Stanislaus College — a Catholic day and boarding secondary school for boys, in Bathurst, New South Wales.
And he assaulted girls in parishes elsewhere. Spillane (now aged 73) has recently completed a series of separate criminal trials, resulting in multiple convictions. The courts heard the girls' cases first, and Spillane is now in jail regarding three girls. On 3 February 2017 he faced a pre-sentence procedure for his most recent trials regarding 18 boys. A formal sentencing will be held on a later date to announce his total time behind bars.
