Cardinal George Pell's fate to be broadcast live to the world
The sentencing of Cardinal George Pell for child sex offences will be televised live to the public this week.
Cardinal George Pell will learn his fate in front of Australia and the world this week with his sentencing to be broadcast live.
Victoria’s County Court has confirmed proceedings against the Catholic cleric will be televised.
A jury found Cardinal Pell guilty of sexually abusing two 13-year old choirboys in Melbourne during the 1990s last November.
In a statement to SBS News, a County Court spokesperson said it was "committed to the principles of open justice."
“Chief Judge Peter Kidd’s sentencing remarks in this matter will be broadcast live,” the statement reads.
Mr Pell was found guilty of sexual penetration of a child under 16 at Melbourne’s St Patrick Cathedral and four counts of an “indecent act” with, or in the presence of a child.

The former Vatican treasurer insists his innocence against all allegations made against him.
But Australia's most senior Catholic cleric could face up to 50 years in jail.
He will have his chance to clear his name at appeal dates scheduled for June 5 and 6.
