I am glad we reconnected a few years ago, not because you had changed all that much, not because it brought me all that much joy, it’s actually been very hard,” Ruby wrote on Instagram. “You know that. You were very hard. I cut you off twice in that time lol. Once for a year. But our last emails were right before you died. Mine was a kind email and I’m glad.” “I found it very hard to hear about what happened to you as a child,” Ruby continued. “What happened to all of your siblings at the hands of St Augustine’s and other orphanages and boys homes in Melbourne. Brother Houston I hope you rot in jail.” According to The Daily Mail, former Christian Brother William Houston is currently in jail after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting two boys at St Augustine’s. In 2021, Houston, now 86, was “sentenced to seven years in jail for buggery and three counts of indecent assault for abusing two boys, who were wards of the state, in their beds when he was a dormitory supervisor at St Augustine’s in Highton in the 1960s.” He was already serving a jail sentence after being found guilty in 2016 of abusing six other boys at the orphanage in the ’60s. “None of this undoes the abuse I incurred down the line, but it helped me understand you,” Ruby continued. “To try to understand you was to love you. R.I.P dad I’m very sorry no one protected you. I’m very sorry life was not so much more. I’m devastated really. You’re probably blown away by how sad I am. if you can see me. Although I refused to believe your friend Brian Marshall was Jesus, I mean heck, he ran an anti LBGT cult.. I do very much hope he is wherever you are and you are surrounded by family and friends.” “P.s I don’t think you ever really said sorry. Not really. You didn’t know where to begin, but I forgave you. And I still do,” Ruby added. As of right now, Ruby hasn’t shared any other details, including a cause, surrounding her father’s passing. Our thoughts are with Ruby Rose during this difficult time. RIP.
