Victims of a paedophile Christian Brother have hurled abuse at the 70-year-old as he was led away to begin a 14-year jail term for sex crimes committed over almost 20 years.

Robert Charles Best was today jailed for 14 years and nine months for sexual crimes against 11 boys in Ballarat, Box Hill and Geelong between 1969 and 1988.

Robert Best 'caused a great deal of human damage and misery.'

Best, after a series of trials in the County Court, finally pleaded guilty to several remaining charges.

He was earlier at trial found guilty of 21 charges.
