Adelaide's Catholic Archbishop Philip Wilson has lost
his appeal against a magistrate's refusal to quash a charge of
concealing child abuse at the hands of a New South Wales priest.
Wilson is the most senior Catholic clergyman to be charged with covering up child sexual abuse. Earlier this year, the Catholic Archbishop of Adelaide Philip Wilson asked the New South Wales Supreme Court to dismiss a criminal prosecution alleging he failed to report child abuse allegations.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-14/archbishop-philip-wilson-loses-court-appeal/7932858?section=nsw
