Victoria's top prosecutor has launched an appeal on the grounds
of leniency against a jail term imposed on former Christian Brother
Ted Bales, who sexually assaulted 20 boys in his care.
Edward "Ted" Dowlan, who changed his surname by deed poll to Bales in 2011, was sentenced in March to six years in jail, to serve a minimum three years before parole, after pleading guilty to 33 counts of indecently assaulting boys under 16 and one count of gross indecency.
