A Melbourne court and a Catholic Archdiocese building have been defaced with graffiti accusing Cardinal George Pell of covering up child sexual abuse by priests.
Graffiti scrawled in black paint across the windows and pillars of the Catholic Archdiocese building in East Melbourne said: “child molester Pell” and “put Pell in jail for cover up”.
“Put Pell in jail” has also been sprayed on the Victorian County Court in Melbourne’s CBD.
The graffiti spotted on Wednesday morning on the East Melbourne building was quickly painted over and covered with black plastic.
The words on the court were covered but are still visible from inside.
Cardinal Pell has not been accused of sexual abuse and has denied allegations he ignored complaints or covered them up.
