CARDINAL George Pell has proclaimed his innocence, after the Herald Sun revealed Victoria Police had received the final advice to decide whether to charge him following historical sex abuse allegations.
Cardinal Pell on Wednesday said he would “just like to restate my innocence”.
“I stand by everything I have said at the Royal Commission [into institutional responses to child sexual abuse] and in other places,” he told Channel Seven at the Vatican.
“We have to respect due process, wait until it is concluded and obviously I will continue to co-operate fully.”
