Cardinal George Pell allegedly sexually abused up to 10 minors between 1978 and 2001, it has been reported.
The Herald Sun have reported the alleged abuse spanned over 23 years, and occurred both in Ballarat where he was a priest, and in Melbourne where he worked as the archbishop.
Detectives have been working with the alleged victims for over a year – it has been reported they are aged between their late 20s and early 50s.
An earlier explosive Herald Sun report claimed Victoria Police is probing allegations about ‘multiple offences’ committed by the now 74-year-old.
But Cardinal Pell has vehemently denied the allegations, saying they are ‘without foundation and utterly false’, according to a spokesman.
