A Catholic archbishop in Australia has been given a maximum sentence of 12 months in detention for concealing child sexual abuse in the 1970s.
Philip Wilson, now archbishop of Adelaide, is the most senior Catholic globally to be convicted of the crime.
He was found guilty by a court last month for covering up abuse by a paedophile priest in New South Wales.
The court has ordered that Wilson be assessed for home detention, meaning he will probably avoid jail.
Wilson has not resigned as archbishop, despite relinquishing his duties in the wake of his conviction.
