As the Friday deadline for the governor’s action on Bill 326-33 draws close, proponents of the sex abuse legislation urged Gov. Eddie Calvo to sign the bill into law as a matter of moral necessity.
“Gov. Calvo, please sign Bill 326,” said Roland Sondia in a press conference at the foot of the stairs leading up to the office of the governor in Adelup.
Sondia, one of the four individuals who first came forward with accusations of child sex abuse against Archbishop Anthony Apuron in June, asked the governor to sign the bill into law.
“Today I’m here to ask Gov. Calvo to do the right thing and sign Bill 326,” Sondia said.
Sondia, along with Roy Quintanilla, Walter Denton and Doris Concepcion – representing her late son – alleged that Apuron had sexually abused them more than 40 years ago when they were altar boys at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Agat, where Apuron was pastor in the 1970s.
