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

CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. — Several people were injured after a vehicle slammed into the back of a horse-drawn buggy in Carroll County, Indiana, on Sunday evening. Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby says a 30-year-old woman was driving northbound on State Road 75 just after 5:30 p.m. when she ran into the back of the buggy, which was carrying eight passengers. The driver told deputies that she had leaned over to pick up something on the floorboard and didn't realize the buggy was in front of her until it was too late. She said she tried to brake, but wasn't able to stop in time before slamming into the back of the buggy. 638

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In trying times like these, many people turn to their faith for comfort and answers, but social distancing guidelines are making it hard for churches to congregate. Hard, yet not impossible. Worshipers around the country are finding creative ways to practice their religion together at safe distances amid the COVID-19 pandemic.While some churches have turned to the internet to stream video of their services online, others are turning to an activity from the past – the drive-in. Like the drive-in movie theaters that were widely popular in the 20th century, people are attending services from their cars, in the parking lots of their churches. Bethel Church in Evansville, Indiana, is among the congregations giving drive-in services a try. In photos, you see rows and rows of cars, evenly spaced and all turned toward a big screen. 867

Dating apps are all the rage right now. However, dating experts warn singles not to fall in the “app trap.” David Wygant, who has 20 years of experience as a relationship and dating coach, says smartphone apps are like the Amazon Prime of dating. There are too many choices and it’s too easy to return something and get right back into shopping for something new. Then, often times, you’re not getting what you expect, Wygant says.“That’s the problem; everybody is lying,” Wygant says. “And because they're lying, what shows up on a date isn’t what you expected from the superhero version. A real person shows up and everyone thinks they have to go and market themselves as something else now.”Wygant says that causes daters to become negative and discourages them from going on other dates. The dating expert says what’s old is new again. He suggests staying off the phone and go out in public to find people. Wygant says to pay attention to people around you at the gym or the grocery store. He recommends talking to people, flirting, giving out your number when interested in someone. Wygant says people want to be acknowledged and just need a simple conversation to get going. 1192

DENVER, Colo. – When it comes to businesses in America, women owned companies make up 40%. Although that number is on the rise, women are facing different challenges in order to achieve success.About 11.6 million businesses are owned by women, but Madhavan Parthasarathy, Director of Entrepreneurship at University of Colorado Denver, says a majority of those businesses are small. Parthasarathy says women aren’t achieving success at the same rate as men because they are outnumbered."The biggest challenge is to be taken serious,” said Parthasarathy. “It's not just a challenge starting a business but getting funding for a business.Besides landing investors, Parthasarathy says it's hard for women to find mentors and connect with a network of other entrepreneurs to help grow their businesses.Sarah Ortega with Sarah O. Jewelry knows a thing or two about the struggles of owning a business. Despite the disadvantages, she says women have an edge that helps them."We are humble people,” said Ortega. “We like to collaborate with other people and we really feel emotion."A downfall – women can be their own worst critics."If you can learn to take that negative self-talk and say ‘not today, not today, I’m not going to listen to you today. I’m going to grow and make something beautiful.’ If you can do that, that’s when things start to change."Male or female, both Ortega and Parthasarathy say mistakes will happen when owning your own business."That's one of the most important things about being an entrepreneur is to not get down and out on your mistakes," said Ortega. “If I make a mistake I go ‘okay cool where do we take that mistake and make it a learning and experience and grow from it.’" One company who's a big advocate of women owned businesses is Secret. Every Wednesday in the month of December, the company is encouraging people to shop at a woman owned business. 1893
