The libel and slander lawsuit was filed this morning at the Superior Court of Guam.
Guam – The four alleged sex abuse victims of Archbishop Anthony Apuron have taken the first step in taking Apuron to court. They have filed a libel and slander lawsuit in the Superior Court of Guam.
Roy Quintanilla, Walter Denton, Roland Sondia and Doris Concepcion, on behalf of her son, Joseph Quinata are the named plaintiffs in the case. Quintanilla, Denton and Sondia say Apuron molested them in the 1970s at the Mt. Carmel Church in Agat. Concepcion accused Apuron of molesting her now deceased son.
The named defendants are Archbishop of Agana, a Corporation Sole–which is essentially the Archdiocese of Agana– and Apuron.
The four plaintiffs are seeking $500,00 each in general damages for a total of $2 million.
