George Pell: what the five-year royal commission into child sexual abuse found
Un-redacted report released in 2020 revealed how archbishop failed to take proper steps to act on complaints about dangerous priests

Here’s what the commission found about Pell’s conduct.
Pell’s knowledge of child abuse by paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale.
Gerald Ridsdale is one of the country’s most notorious paedophile priests.
He committed more than130 offences against children as young as fourbetween the 1960s and 1980s, including while working as a school chaplain at St Alipius boys’ school in Ballarat, and continues to be convicted and sentenced for his crimes, most recently in October.
Pell lived with Ridsdale for a time in the 1970s, accompanied him to court in 1993, and offered to provide character evidence for him.
The commission found that, by 1973, Pell was not only “conscious of child sexual abuse by clergy” but that he had“considered measures of avoiding situations which might provoke gossip about it”.
Pell had been handed a list of incidents and grievances about Searson in 1989, which included reports Searson had abused animals in front of children and was using children’s toilets.
Pell said this was not enough information for him to act.
