Former Christian Brother has jail term increased following further abuse convictions
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: The judge noted that any sentence imposed must be proportionate and not crushing. Judge Nolan said he would extend Manning's time in prison, imposing a one-year sentence to run consecutive to the sentence Manning is currently serving. "I think there has to be some extra time for extra bad behaviour," the judge said, noting he would have imposed a more substantial sentence if only dealing with these two complainants.
