A large media scrum of journalists from around the world swamped Cardinal Pell as he arrived then left the court hearing, flanked by scores of police.

There was also a contingent of supporters, protesters and curious passersby.

In one of the most chaotic scenes ever witnessed at the court in William St, it almost took longer for Cardinal Pell to walk the 100m to his lawyer’s offices afterwards than the eight minute hearing.

He was flanked by a dozen police who largely managed to shield the Cardinal as media threw questions.

This is how the morning unfolded.
