Australian Cardinal George Pell, one
of Pope Francis' most senior aides, has been summoned to appear in court
in his home state this week to face "historical sexual assault"
charges. Last month, Victorian state police charged him with multiple sexual offences involving multiple complainants from years ago.
In Australia, there is no statute of limitations on such crimes, which means one can be charged for crimes committed decades ago. Police have refused to elaborate on the allegations and the local court has issued a gag order on details regarding the case.
