Cardinal George Pell, the most senior Catholic cleric found guilty of sexually abusing children, will learn the outcome of his appeal on Wednesday.
FILE - This Sept. 9, 2018, file photo shows the facade of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne. Cardinal George Pell’s appeal against his convictions for child molestation was largely a question of who the jury should have believed, his accuser or a senior priest whose church role was likened to Pell’s bodyguard. Pell’s accuser was a 13-year-old choirboy when he alleged that he was abused by then-Melbourne Archbishop Pell at the city’s St.
Pell has been in a Melbourne prison since March when he was sentenced to six years for convictions on charges that he orally raped a 13-year-old choirboy and indecently dealt with the boy and the boy’s 13-year-old friend in a rear room of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne in December 1996. He was also convicted of squeezing one of the boy’s genitals in a cathedral corridor in February 1997.
“There’d be a psychological agitation about waiting for what’s going to be the outcome of the appeal, but I found him strong ... spiritually and calm and very conversive,” Comensoli said. The Department of Justice and Community Safety did not respond to a request on Monday for an update on the investigation into the suspected breach.
The Australian Catholic University said its Pell Center at its campus in Pell’s hometown of Ballarat would not be renamed until the appeal process was completed, angering academic staff.
