George Pell’s accuser, known as Witness J, has broken his silence on the Cardinal being acquitted of sexual abuse, reassuring supporters in a poignant statement that he is “OK”.

Pell was yesterday freed from Barwon Prison after the High Court quashed his child sexual abuse convictions.

Witness J said he accepted and understood the outcome of the court.
