Cardinal Pell Returns to Prison Cell to Await Appeal Decision

Cardinal George Pell arrives at the Supreme Court of Victoria on June 06, 2019 in Melbourne, Australia.

The 77 year old, once the third most powerful man in the Vatican and Australia's most senior Catholic, was found guilty on 11 December in Melbourne's county court. The jury was unanimous in their verdict, finding Pell guilty on five counts of child sexual assault in December 1996 and early 1997 at St Patrick's Cathedral. Michael Dodge/Getty Images

Disgraced Cardinal George Pell has returned to his prison cell as senior judges consider if convictions for molesting choirboys should be overturned.
