The sentencing of the Catholic archbishop of Adelaide, Philip Wilson, is a global landmark in the search for justice by victims of child sexual abuse.
Wilson is the most senior member of the Catholic clergy in the world to be convicted on a charge of covering up child sexual abuse in the church and the verdict will influence similar cases which turn on an accused's memory of events decades after they occurred. Cardinal George Pell is facing prosecution for historical child sexual offences in the County Court of Victoria.
