MELBOURNE, Australia — An Australian court has canceled a second trial for Cardinal George Pell, the highest-ranking Roman Catholic leader ever convicted of sexual abuse, just days before the cardinal was set to be sentenced on an earlier conviction.
In December, Cardinal Pell, 77, was found guilty of sexually assaulting two 13-year-old choirboys. But a judge forbid news outlets to publish the news, citing concerns that coverage might influence a jury in the second trial.
On Tuesday, with the new trial no longer in the works, the judge lifted the gag order.
The earlier case related to allegations from 1996. Cardinal Pell, a former adviser to Pope Francis, was convicted on several counts.
He was found guilty of forcing oral sex onto a 13-year-old boy after Sunday Mass in the sacristy of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne. At the time, Cardinal Pell was the city’s archbishop.
He was also convicted of an assault in which he grabbed a boy’s genitals.
The second trial was to focus on allegations of child abuse dating to the 1970s, when he was a parish priest in his hometown, Ballarat, Australia.
