Helped by Broken Rites, some of the victims of Christian Brother Desmond Eric ("Neil") Richards have
achieved justice. On 27 November 2014, a Sydney court will sentence
Richards (aged 75) for indecently assaulting young boys in the 1970s and
'80s. The church had known for years about Richards' crimes but the
crimes were concealed from the police (and from the public). And
the Christian Brothers appointed him to be in charge of their worldwide
website in Rome.
Brother "Neil" Richards has spent more than half a century as a Christian Brother, including as a headmaster, in Catholic schools in Sydney and regional New South Wales. When Desmond Eric Richards joined the order, a new Brother would normally adopt a new forename. Hence, he became Brother "Neil" Richards.
