In October 2002, the Catholic Church in Australia posted on its
official website a report of a church inquiry into an allegation of
sexual abuse against George Pell. The allegation concerned an alleged
incident in the early 1960s, when George Pell (then aged 20) was
training to become a priest.
The report was compiled by a Victorian barrister, Mr A.J. Southwell Q.C., who had been paid by the Catholic Church authorities to conduct an inquiry into the allegation. The terms of reference for the inquiry were set by the church authorities.
