Cardinal George Pell, who is the third rangking of Catholic figure in Australia, allegedly doing sexual harassment.
The allegation, according to the police of the State of Victoria, linked to a series of incidents "in the past" that allegedly involved the Cardinal Pell.
Deputy Commissioner of police of the State of Victoria, Shane Patton, said the accusation addressed to Cardinal Pell is conveyed from many people.
Cardinal Pell consistently denied that he was involved in the sexual harassment.
However, the man who is in the Vatican now, should face the court in Melbourne on 18 July.
Cardinal George Pell has ever been checked by police related to the accusation against child abuse in 2016. But the report was discontinued.
Cardinal Pell said that the brother Edward Dowlan "doing abberant to some boys" at St Patrick's College, Ballarat, outside the city of Melbourne, in 1974.
Cardinal Pell said the event "is mentioned in the casual conversation" and the boy didn't ask him to act.
Brother Dowlan, which was renamed as Ted Bales, jailed last year over the act of child abuse to some boys, in the 1970s and 1980s.
Respond to the recognition of Cardinal Pell, Peter Blenkiron who became the victim of Dowlan's abuse, said that the brother Pell should invertigate on the report of the acussation.
The Institution of Commission Handling on child abuse which was formed in 2013 in Australia found that 7% of the Catholic priests in the country is suspected to have committed sexual harassment to children in 1950 to 2010.
In one Catholic order, more than 40% of the religious figure was accused of abuse.
At least 4,444 children in 1,000 Catholic institutions in Australia admitted to be the victims. They claimed that the harassmwnt was happened in the period of 1980 to 2015.
