The Archbishop of Guam is denying another allegation of historical sexual abuse.

But a group for abuse survivors is now calling for the Pope to remove Archbishop Anthony Apuron while an investigation is conducted.

The Pacific Daily News reported an Arizona woman was claiming her son, who was now deceased, was molested by the Archbishop while he was serving as an altar boy in the 1970s.

It followed a similar claim made two weeks ago against Archbishop Apuron.

The Archbishop was denying both allegations and in a statement said the Archdiocese of Agana was taking legal measures against those “perpetrating these malicious lies”.
