Cardinal George Pell has been spotted taking a break in Asia before returning to Australia to face historical sexual abuse charges.
In exclusive video obtained by 9NEWS, Cardinal Pell was seen sitting with a friend outside an ice cream shop in Singapore earlier today.
Cardinal Pell, 76, is due to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 26, after Victoria Police charged him with a number of offences relating to alleged historical sexual abuse.
This is his first appearance outside of Rome since police laid the charges. It is unclear when he will travel the final leg to Melbourne.
