The lawyer acting for a Catholic Archbishop accused of
concealing child sexual abuse is calling for a permanent stay of
proceedings. Adelaide's Archbishop Philip Wilson has previously
pleaded not guilty to concealing the serious indictable offence of
another person.
The charge relates to when Wilson was an assistant parish priest in East Maitland in the 1970s and worked with paedophile priest James Fletcher. Wilson's lawyer Simon Buchen today sought a permanent stay of proceedings.
