Cardinal George Pell, the most senior Vatican official to be convicted of sex abuse to date, has been sentenced to six years in prison for the "callous" assault of two choirboys in the late 1990s.A former senior adviser to Pope Francis, Pell showed no reaction when Chief Judge Peter Kidd handed down his sentence in a hearing broadcast live worldwide on Wednesday from Victoria's County Court in central Melbourne.Pell, 77, was found guilty of one count of sexual penetration of a child and four counts of committing an indecent act with a child last December after a secret five-week trial.Reporting of the trial and verdict was suppressed by the court to avoid prejudicing a second trial, which crown prosecutors abandoned in February after the judge ruled some prosecution evidence couldn't be submitted.On Wednesday, Judge Kidd said Pell's attack on the victims was "breathtakingly arrogant."But the judge said Pell was "not to be made a scapegoat for any failings or perceived failings of the Catholic Church."Pell's legal team has previously announced it will appeal his conviction on three grounds, including that the jury's verdict on all five charges was unreasonable, based on the evidence submitted. The Court of Appeal is due to hear submissions in early June.The sentencingPell has spent the past two weeks in custody and was brought into the court from the Melbourne Assessment Prison (MAP) via an internal entrance, avoiding rows of cameras set up outside the court in central Melbourne.More than 150 people crammed into the courtroom, which had been fitted with extra seats to cope with the demand from those who wanted to be there in person to hear how he'd be punished.Pell sat in the back of the courtroom, surrounded by security officers but uncuffed, as Judge Kidd delivered a detailed explanation of the crimes the cardinal had committed and the reasons for the sentence.After mass one Sunday in the late 1990s, Judge Kidd recounted, Pell caught two choirboys drinking communion wine in the priest's sacristy and one by one forced them to engage in sex acts, despite their sobs and pleas for him to let them go.The first choirboy told how he was forced to perform oral sex on the cardinal, who at the time was Archbishop of Melbourne and a revered figure within the Catholic Church.The boy didn't tell anyone what had happened for years, before finally approached Victoria Police in 2015, almost 20 years after the crime. His statement led to an investigation and a number of historical sex abuse charges being filed against the then-Vatican treasurer.After his conviction, the Vatican launched its own investigation into Pell, which could lead to the cardinal losing his clerical status or being "defrocked," a severe punishment imposed by the Pope and not subject to appeal.The victimsIn his ruling, Judge Kidd was careful not to name the two victims, one of whom gave taped evidence against Pell on a video that was seen only by the jury during the trial. Under Australian law it's illegal to identify sex abuse victims or reveal information that could expose who they are.The first victim has declined to comment publicly but said in a statement released by his lawyer after the ruling that since the attack he had experienced "shame, loneliness (and) depression."He asked that he be left alone and given time to cope with the ongoing criminal process. "The process has been stressful and is not over yet," he said.The second victim died of a heroin overdose a few years ago.The deceased victim's father told CNN that his son had been an outgoing child who played sport and liked singing, a talent that earned him a scholarship to the prestigious boys' school and ultimately an invitation to sing in St. Patrick's Cathedral where the attack took place.Around one year after the assault, he said his son was kicked out of the choir, lost his scholarship and started injecting heroin."He was trying to mask something that had happened to him. He was trying to cover up something that had happened to him, so heinous and so horrible," said his father, who is considering filing a civil case against the church.Pell's supportersPell's defense team had submitted 10 references that attested to Pell's good character. They included one from former Prime Minister John Howard who wrote that Pell, his friend for approximately 30 years, was a person of "high intelligence and exemplary character."Howard said he was aware of Pell's conviction and pending appeal but that "none of these matters alter my opinion of the Cardinal."Several of Pell's other high-profile friends in Australia have leaped to his defense, questioning the jury's verdict and predicting the cardinal would be exonerated on appeal.The depiction of Pell as a man wronged has infuriated survivors of church sex abuse who say that casting victims as liars and priests as beyond reproach perpetuates a culture that allowed abuse to thrive within the Catholic Church for decades.Statistics released in 2017 by Australia's Royal Commission into Responses to Institutional Child Sex Abuse stated that 5097

Christmas is nearly two months away, but that hasn't stopped many Americans from starting their holiday shopping. According to data released by the National Retail Federation, 40 percent of Americans start their holiday shopping by Halloween. That is why many retailers begin holiday marketing in September, the NRF said.. In additional holiday shopping data released by the NRF this week, one piece of unknown data is whether prices will increase this holiday season due to tariffs. "Some holiday merchandise including apparel, footwear and televisions are subject to new tariffs that took effect on September 1, and other products will have tariffs applied on December 15," the NRF said. The NRF added that retailers will work to limit the impact of tariffs, but that many small businesses will be unable to absorb the costs. For this holiday season, the NRF expects retails to rake in 4 percent more revenue compared to 2018, with between 7.9 billion and 0.7 billion in total revenue.While spending on gifts for family is expected to decline, spending on gifts for non-family members could see a giant increase the NRF said. For the average consumer, they said they will spend ,047.83 this holiday season. Nearly 59 percent of consumers said they will shop for gift cards; 52 percent for clothing and accessories; 35 percent for books and other media; 29 percent for electronics; and 24 percent for home decor. Of the ,047.83, consumers said they'll spend 1 on gifts for the family, which is actually down from 6 from last year. Gifts for non-family is expected to see a jump from 6 in 2018 to 2 in 2019.Non-gift spending is expected to increase from 5 in 2018 to 2 this year, as consumers said they will take advantage of discounts offered during the holiday season. “Younger consumers are helping drive the spending increase this year,” Prosper Insights Executive Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “They’re not just spending on their immediate family members, they’re also treating their larger circle of co-workers and friends to gifts.” More than half of shoppers between the ages of 25 and 34 (52 percent) plan to purchase gifts for co-workers, and 82 percent of those between 18 and 24 plan to purchase gifts for their friends. 2285

DETROIT, Mich. – Ford is recalling over 240,000 SUVs and cars worldwide because a suspension part can fracture and increase the risk of a crash. The recall covers the Ford Flex, Taurus police car, Taurus SHO and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 through 2018 model years. Most of the recalled vehicles are in North America. Ford says if the suspension moves a lot on the vehicles, the rear toe links can fracture. Toe links help keep the rear suspension stable and the tires on the pavement. The company says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem in this batch of recalled vehicles. Dealers will replace toe links on both sides with new ones that are stronger. Owners will be notified starting March 2. 732
