While his whereabouts remain unknown, Archbishop Anthony Apuron still has an opportunity to clear his name of allegations of child molestation. According to Guam’s apostolic administrator, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai, the process is moving forward and a canonical trial will be held in the Vatican.

“They just formed all the conditions for the trial, so I’m going to receive some updates later,” he announced during a press conference at the Cathedral in Hagatna this morning.

KUAM News did ask newly-appointed Bishop MIchael Byrnes what would happen if Apuron was cleared of any wrongdoing – Bishop Byrnes said he didn’t know the answer to that question.
