| The Catholic Church on Guam is facing sexual abuse allegations against some of its clergy. |
The Church has so far denied any knowledge of specific allegations, but says it has a policy of investigating any accusations and to assist victims where needed.
Joelle Casteix from the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests says the victims are too afraid to talk publically about the abuse.
She says at least one accused priest is still working on Guam.
"The first person who contacted me, his perpetrator is still an active priest on Guam and he's a young vibrant man doing all kinds of great stuff but any time he goes to church here's this guy who sexually abused him. And that story is very very common," she said.
