'Convicted Pedophile' Added to Cardinal George Pell Plaque in Sydney

A plaque marking Cardinal George Pell’s tenure as Archbishop of Sydney was vandalised at St Mary’s Cathedral on August 21, after the Supreme Court of Victoria announced Pell had lost his appeal against child sex abuse convictions.

A video filmed by satirical comedy group The Chaser showed a member of the group “updating” the plaque with a small gold plate reading “and convicted pedophile” (sic). Storyful understands the gold plate on the plaque was later removed. Credit: The Chaser via Storyful
