A former Christian brother yesterday pleaded guilty to five counts ofabuse involving three boys at a Perth Catholic college more than 20years ago, while denying charges involving a fourth boy.

ABC Newsreports that 56-year-old Graeme James Down admitted five charges ofunlawfully and indecently touching three boys aged about 11 and 12,when he was a Christian brother teacher in the 1980s.

While Downadmitted those offences, he pleaded not guilty to a further sevencharges, which allege more serious offences against a fourth boy, andwent on trial today.

The District Court was told that the boy,who is now aged 35, was abused when Down made him stay back after classfor disciplinary reasons.

Defence lawyer Rob Nash said whileDown admitted abusing the first three boys he vehemently denied theallegations being made by the fourth boy, which Mr Nash described asbeing significantly and fundamentally different in nature.

The trial is expected to run for another three days, ABC News says.
