George Pell locked up
Patrick Durkin![]()
George Pell has been taken to jail after Australia's most senior Catholic was classified as a serious sex offender to be sentenced within the next two weeks.
Pell was taken into custody following a pre-sentence hearing on Wednesday after his lawyers withdrew a last ditch effort to appeal for bail in the Court of Appeal this afternoon.
County Court Chief Judge Peter Kidd said Pell's crimes were "callous, brazen offending" and indicated it would not be a lenient sentence.

Defence barrister Robert Richter QC conceded there should be jail time but argued "this is a court of law not a court of morals," as he revealed former Prime Minister John Howard was one of ten people to provide a character witness.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison indicated he would look at stripping Pell's Order of Australia but only if an appeal is not successful.
