A Tasmanian teacher, 71, sentenced to 21 years for abusing boys over 30 years, deemed morally worthless by judge.
Keith Athol Bates-Willie, 71, was sentenced to 21 years in prison with no parole for 11 years after being found guilty of 14 charges, including persistent sexual abuse, rape, and indecent assault, committed over nearly three decades while teaching in Hobart.
The abuse targeted multiple boys from the late 1970s to the mid-2000s at schools and various locations including classrooms, homes, and a ferry.
Judge Stephen Estcourt called Bates-Willie morally and socially worthless, citing his lack of remorse and attempts to discredit victims.
Over 16 witnesses provided consistent testimony, leading to a unanimous conviction.
He was placed on the sex offender register for life and banned from contacting anyone under 18.
