An explosive new book by an investigative journalist has detailed sexual abuse allegations against Cardinal George Pell, Australia’s most prominent Catholic.
Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell was written by ABC Four Corners and 7.30 reporter Louise Milligan and is set to hit book shelves on Monday.
In the book, Ms Milligan reveals new details surrounding accusations Cardinal Pell, 75, sexually abused a choirboy, The Age reported.
The alleged abuse was said to have taken place in the back room of Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral in the late 1990s, with the choirboy then asking to leave the choir, the book alleges.
Cardinal Pell has strenuously denied abuse allegations levelled against him.
There is no suggestion Cardinal Pell is guilty of any allegations of child sex abuse, only that they have been investigated by police.
