Australian media cops hefty fine for Vatican sex abuse breach

George Pell’s conviction for abusing two choirboys was overturned in April last year.

The 12 media outlets, mostly owned by Nine Entertainment Co and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, pleaded guilty in February to breaching the gag order on reporting on the trial and conviction of the cardinal after the state agreed to drop all charges against journalists and editors. Pell’s conviction for abusing two choirboys was overturned in April last year after he was jailed for more than a year. He was the most senior Catholic church official to have gone to prison for child sex assault.

After he was convicted by a jury in December 2018, foreign media published the verdict, naming Pell and the charges, despite the suppression order.
