BREAKING: Cardinal George Pell, the most senior official of the Vatican ever to have been convicted of child sex abuse, has been sentenced to six years in prison, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months. GeorgePell
The disgraced cardinal has had a two-week taste of life behind bars, and on Wednesday he’ll know just how much longer he’ll spend in custody.
Anticipating global interest in the sentence, the court has allowed cameras inside to live broadcast Judge Kidd’s remarks. The friends, one who died in 2014, had snuck away to drink wine in the priest’s sacristy when they were “caught” by Pell who assaulted them while masturbating himself amid their pleas to be let go.
