Read our privacy policy An Australian ex-priest convicted of sexually abusing children had another 12 months added to his 39-year prison sentence on Tuesday for molesting a 72nd victim. Radford told Ridsdale: “You will probably die in custody.” The prison sentence has been extended eight times over the decades as more victims have come forward. The inquiry found that the late Australian Cardinal George Pell, who became the third-highest ranking cleric in the Vatican in 2014, knew Ridsdale had been sexually abusing children years before his arrest.
