Attorney David Lujan expects four civil lawsuits to be filed next week in addition to the four that were filed on Nov. 1 by abuse victims Roland Sondia, Roy Quintanilla, Walter Denton and Leo Tudela. The lawsuits were filed against Archbishop Anthony Apuron, the Archdiocese of Agana and former Guam priest Rev. Louis Brouillard.

The lawsuits are part of at least a dozen suits expected to be filed over the next few weeks. The next four to be filed next week include a suit on behalf of the late Joseph “Sonny” Quinata and three victims who have not yet been named. Lujan said his clients were seeking monetary damages but they have not yet stated the amount.

“Until the case progresses then we’ll decide what it is that we’re asking for,” Lujan said.
