Two men have come forward claiming Cardinal George Pell groped them at a Victorian pool in the 1970s.

The men, who were in primary school at the time and have given a statement to Victoria Police, say Cardinal Pell abused them when he would frequent Ballarat's Eureka Pool during the summer of 1978-79, according to ABC News.

Cardinal Pell has denied the allegations and says claims he abused young children are "totally untrue and completely wrong".
