When I was growing up in Sydney, heavily involved in drugs, anarchy and living on the streets in squats it was common knowledge there were protected paedophile groups that operated out kids homes.
Worse when those kids ran away and ended up on the street they'd end up street walking, being preyed upon by predators of all sorts.
Most were using because of the horrific trauma they had been subjected to.
I remember being warned about avoiding certain places if a particular predator was our a about cruising. They loved to target young men.
In 2013 we had a royal commission into institutional response to child abuse and it became very clear that children had been raped on an industrial scale.
People like Pell and Clancy (who I was peripherally related to) were not just actively involved but also running protection for dozens and dozens of serial rapists.
With politicians and law enforcement also working to protect these people.
Pell denied numerous victims, even after the priests were found to be rapists and sentenced, compensation and forced countless people to kill themselves.
There is no fate worse then I can imagine for Pell and his ilk. They are a stain on this earth and as bad as the fascists and nazis.
