"That was extraordinarily stressful," she said. Milligan has also previously spoken to the choirboy whose evidence convicted Pell, however he remains fiercely protective of his privacy and unwilling to speak publicly about the case. "After the first edition was published the father contacted me and told me he wanted to tell more of the story, which we hear in Four Corners program." "I asked the mother if it was OK if I told the story, de-identified, in my book and that was the first time anyone had really heard the story of the choirboys. "For legal reasons we weren't able to broadcast the interview at the time, but I referred to the allegations in a piece-to-camera.
"But they made the decision to speak out to support the other complainants. "I first spoke to the mother and sister in 2016 and it was obviously a very, very big thing for them to speak to us because they had never really told anyone how their son had died," she said. Milligan was the first journalist to report the allegations, very briefly in a story for 7.30 in 2016 and in detail in her book: Cardinal, The Rise and Fall of George Pell. The boy was 13 years old when he was abused by George Pell.
