Wilson case offers a study in contrasting coverage

One of the most important legal judgments this year was that handed down by Judge Roy Ellis in the NSW District Court in Newcastle on December 6. In Regina v Philip Edward Wilson, the judge upheld an appeal and quashed the conviction of Wilson, the ­former Catholic archbishop of Adelaide. Wilson had been convicted in the NSW Local Court in May by Magistrate Robert Stone for failing to report a child sexual ­assault to NSW Police. The Crown’s case was that in 1976 ­Wilson had been told of a case of clerical child abuse and failed to report it between 2004 and 2006 when the priest was charged with the offence.
