Another former altar boy has filed a lawsuit against Guam’s Catholic Church alleging historical sexual assault.
Sixty-two-year-old Ramon Afaisen De Plata alleged that he was molested by Reverend Antonio Cruz, who is now dead, in 1964, when he was 10-years-old.
Mr De Plata’s lawsuit is the 14th filed against Guam’s Catholic Church since the government in September removed the statue of limitations that prevented historical cases from being prosecuted.
Mr De Plata also told the Pacific Daily News that a then-seminarian, Anthony Apuron, was present when the abuse took place.
