A former Christian Brother who was part of a notorious paedophile
ring involving the clergy in Ballarat has been jailed for a minimum of
three years for abusing 20 young boys.
County Court judge Richard Smith said on Friday that Ted Dowlan, who changed his name by deed poll to Bales in 2011, had preyed on vulnerable boys as young as eight years old over a 14-year period at six different schools from the first year he became a Christian Brother in 1971.
