When former priest David Rapson was ordained in 1982, he received a
white cord known as a cincture, which fastens clerical vestments but
also signifies chastity and purity in the Roman Catholic Church.
Not one for symbolism, Rapson used his cincture to restrain 16-year-old Ben Monagle, before he viciously raped the vulnerable student in 1990. Last week, the 61-year-old was jailed for at least nine years over the rape and sexual assault of six students, but did not express any remorse to his victims.
