Australia's highest-ranking Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, has been convicted of sexually abusing two boys in the 1990s.
His victims were two 13-year-old boys on scholarships to the prestigious St Kevin's College.
The pair "nicked off" after a Sunday solemn mass in late 1996 and were caught swigging sacramental wine in the priest's sacristy by Pell, newly installed as Archbishop of Melbourne.
Pell scolded them, exposed his penis from beneath the ornate ceremonial robes, and molested them.
A Melbourne jury in December found Pell guilty of five charges - one of sexually penetrating a child and four of committing indecent acts with children.
That verdict was made public on Tuesday after months of procedural secrecy.
Pell has maintained his innocence over all allegations and has lodged an appeal of his conviction.
One of the victims, now in his 30s, brought the allegations to police after years of having struggled to understand what he'd experienced.
Pell's other victim died in 2014 in accidental circumstances.
