SABRA LANE, PRESENTER: Tonight, a special report. Rightly or wrongly,
over the course of the child abuse royal commission, one figure has
emerged as a lightning rod for the anger of Catholics. Cardinal George
Pell has been grilled over what he knew about clergy abuse of children
in the Church's care.
Tonight, 7.30 changes the focus of that discussion to reveal a series of allegations levelled against the Cardinal himself. Victoria's Police Commissioner recently confirmed his Taskforce Sano is investigating George Pell over multiple allegations. We can reveal that investigation has been going for more than a year and involves a number of complainants spanning decades. 7.30 understands that file has been sent to the Office of Public Prosecutions for advice.
