Victorian police chief Graham Ashton has said the decision on whether or not to charge Cardinal George Pell over historical child sexual assault allegations “is not far off”.

Mr Ashton this morning described the investigation of Cardinal Pell as “very complex.”

“These allegations are complex and there’s a lot in it in terms of the inquiries that have been made, the work that’s been done and the legal advice,” he said.

“I’m not going to comment on this particular case, but I’ll make the overall statement that you can often get different views around investigations and it’s not always the case of total agreement or total dissent.”
