The two men, now in their 40s, were in primary school at the time of the alleged incidents. They have told the ABC's 7:30 program that Cardinal Pell, then a priest, groped them at Ballarat's Eureka swimming pool during a two-year period in 1978 and 1979.
7.30 says a special police task force has been looking into allegations of multiple complaints against the Cardinal for more than a year.
However, the allegations have not been tested in any court to date, and the Cardinal remains entitled to the presumption of innocence.
