Via Herald Sun:
Acquitted Cardinal George Pell is being investigated over fresh child abuse allegations by a new accuser.
Victoria Police has been conducting a secret probe into Cardinal Pell while he appealed against his convictions to the High Court of Australia.
It is believed the new allegation has been made by a man who works in a professional role.
The alleged incident is believed to date back to the 1970s.
The Herald Sun is not suggesting the allegation is true, only that a police investigation has been opened.
