The leaders of a Catholic religious order, the Salesians of Don Bosco, have made an out-of-court settlement with a former schoolboy who alleged that he was sexually abused by a priest (Father John Ayers) while he was a pupil at a prominent Australian Catholic school.
The ex-student, "Roy", has told Broken Rites that he encountered Father Ayers while boarding at Salesian College ("Rupertswood"), in Sunbury, near Melbourne, between 1965 and 1967, when Roy was aged 12 to 13. In return for receiving his out-of-court settlement, Roy signed a deed of release for the Salesians, preventing him from suing the Salesians in the civil courts for damages.
