Cardinal George Pell, the senior most Catholic cleric ever convicted of child sex abuse was sent to prison on Wednesday and will now wait two weeks for his sentencing. 77-year-old Pell, could face 50 years in prison, for molesting two choirboys in a Melbourne cathedral two decades ago. He will be kept in protective custody, where he will remain alone for up to 23 hours a day. A jury unanimously convicted Pell in December of abusing the two 13-year-olds in St. Patrick's Cathedral in 1996 weeks after becoming archbishop of Melbourne.
