Teacher Sentenced Again for Abuse
from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A former PE teacher convicted of horrific sexual abuse against two schoolgirls in the 1980s just received a seven-and-a-half-year sentence—bringing his total prison time to nearly half a century. Chief Justice Amanda Chambers condemned Gilfillan’s calculated abuse, calling it “perverted” and “brazen,” and emphasized the betrayal of trust placed in educators. Despite his age and denials, the judge ruled the new sentence must run concurrently with his existing 48-year term, meaning he won’t be eligible for parole until age 92. The ruling is a powerful vindication for the victims, whose accounts were believed over Gilfillan’s claims of innocence. With his likely death in prison, the sentence stands as a solemn reckoning for crimes that shattered lives—and a warning to all who hold positions of trust.
