Archbishop could be malingering: NSW court

Australian Associated PressNovember 28, 20176:43pm

The trial of Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson for covering up sexual abuse has been delayed due to concerns over the 67-year-old's health, but a NSW court has been told he could be "malingering".

Wilson, the most senior Catholic official in the world to be charged with concealing child sex assault, was scheduled to appear in Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday but was a no-show amid fears he may be suffering Alzheimer's disease and might not be fit to stand trial.
