Pell, who is widely known as Cardinal Pell, is the Catholic Church's most senior official to be convicted of child sexual abuse
In June 2017, Cardinal Pell was charged in Victoria with multiple historical sexual assault offences; he denied all charges.
Ex-ruling party politician has drawn criticism after he expressed support for Pell. Asserting that Pell’s “recent conviction and imprisonment filled me and many others with pain,” George Yeo wrote that he is praying “that Cardinal Pell will be acquitted in the appeal.
Yeo, a former military man who rose to the rank of Brigadier-General in the Singapore Armed Forces , left the army to pursue politics in 1988. He was elected into Parliament that year and went on to serve in various ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
