The Catholic Church harboured a child-sex abuser, Marist Brother Gerard Joseph McNamara,
for four decades until some of his victims spoke (separately) to the
Victoria Police child-protection detectives. When the police charged
McNamara regarding these victims, the Marists enthusiastically supported
McNamara and ignored the victims.
But Broken Rites supported the victims — and in 2004 McNamara finally pleaded guilty and was convicted with a suspended jail sentence. This prompted more McNamara victims to contact the detectives. In 2016, McNamara pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting two more of his victims and was again convicted with another suspended jail sentence. How many more McNamara victims have not yet exercised their right to speak to the child-protection detectives?
