BREAKING: Cardinal George Pell has been found guilty of child sex abuse
An open court involving fair and accurate media coverage is thus the default position for Australian courts. The common law recognises only a limited number of well-defined exceptions. Lawmakers have developed hundreds more. One important common law limitation is in the area of contempt . This puts a halt to prejudicial coverage of a criminal matter from the moment an accused is arrested or charged right through until the appeal period has expired.
The support dog helping witnesses during the George Pell hearing Lawmakers in those states have decided the reputational damage attached to an allegation of a serious sexual offence is so damaging that an accused person should not be identifiable until it is proven there is at least a prima facie case to answer at trial. In Victoria, where Pell’s committal hearing is taking place, the accused can usually be identified.
