No reaction from the Vatican as Pell faces a maximum 50 years in prison
MELBOURNE - Australian Cardinal George Pell, one of Pope Francis' closest advisers and the Vatican's economy minister, has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two choirboys, becoming the most senior Catholic cleric convicted of child sex crimes.
An Australian jury unanimously found Pell guilty in December on one count of sexual abuse and four counts of indecent assault against two boys at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in the 1990s.
