A man who suffered at the hands of a Catholic paedophile as a teenager in the 1970s is calling for Cardinal George Pell to face child abuse allegations and resign so victims of abuse by member’s of the church can ‘finally’ have closure.
Robert Zammit left school aged 16 to escape the clutches of a paedophile teacher – he told Daily Mail Australia he couldn’t speak out about his abuse at the time or for decades afterward because ‘it wasn’t talked about’.
Dr Zammit wants Cardinal Pell to return to Australia and answer to allegations the country’s most senior Catholic ignored abuse claims.
The senior Catholic has refused to fly from Rome to Australia on medical grounds to answer calls from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Sydney.
