Cardinal George Pell Launches Appeal Over Sex Abuse Conviction

George Pell will today appeal against the six-year jail sentence handed to him for sexually abusing two boys. The Catholic Church's former third in charge was convicted late last year and was sentenced in March for his crimes while he was Archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s. The 77-year-old has maintained his innocence from the start and his lawyers will try to argue against his conviction on three grounds in the Victorian Supreme Court.
