Dozens of Australia's leading media editors and journalists, including staff at The Age, could face prison for contempt of court over allegations they breached a suppression order in reports published after George Pell's conviction on child sex abuse charges.
Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, QC, has named 36 organisations and individuals in a motion before the Supreme Court and applied that they be found guilty, convicted and either imprisoned or fined.
Editors of The Age, The Herald Sun, The Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney's Daily Telegraph and the Australian Financial Review are all named in the motion.
The Age and its owner, Nine Entertainment, The Herald and Weekly Times and Nationwide News, the publisher of The Daily Telegraph, are among the organisations in the motion.
The editors, journalists and their employers were issued with summons notices for contempt of court relating to stories that were published in December last year, after Pell was found guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys.
