Brother John David Frith

Brother John Frith is a member of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Order who worked and lived at Monivae College in Hamilton, Victoria during the 1970s and 1980s. Brother Frith was in charge of the infirmary and responsible for examining and attending to sick students. In 2018, following an investigation by members of the Sano Taskforce of the Victoria Police Force, Brother Frith was charged with child sexual abuse offences allegedly committed while he was in charge of the infirmary at Monivae College. It is alleged that Brother Frith sexually abused up to 13 students at the School between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Brother Frith appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court in early 2019 with the trial been set for March 2020 in the Victorian County Court. However, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the trial has been further postponed.

Moody Law has recently represented a client who has accused Brother Frith of sexually abusing him while he was a boarder at Monivae College.
