A father of a deceased ex-choirboy is suing Cardinal George Pell and the Catholic church.

Cardinal Pell was acquitted in 2020 after the High Court quashed his convictions for child sexual assault related to allegations he molested two choir boys in the late 1990s when he was Archbishop of Melbourne.

He served 13 months in prison before being released.

The choirboy’s father has now filed a civil case against the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and Cardinal Pell, with a directions hearing listed in the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday.

The man is not identified in the case and is listed under a pseudonym.
