Cardinal George Pell has been found guilty of five counts of historical child sexual assault.

Pell found guilty of historical child sex offences 26/02/2019 | 2min We can now report that Pell, Australia's most senior Catholic, was convicted on the 11th of December after a lengthy trial.

The jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty after a previous jury was discharged for failing to reach a verdict. Pell is currently on bail, awaiting sentencing. He is expected to appeal the conviction and has always strenuously denied all the allegations against him. The 77-year-old took leave from his position as the Vatican's financial controller to fight the charges in Melbourne, last year.
