A former altar boy in Sinajana, who also was a student at Father Duenas Memorial School, has accused a Catholic priest of repeatedly raping and sexually molesting him, from about 1982 to 1986.

Robert Aguon Perez, now 45, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Rev. David Anderson and the Archdiocese of Agana, alleging that Anderson started molesting him when he was an 11-year-old altar boy and then started raping him when he was 12 or 13 years old. The lawsuit states Anderson was a priest in Sinajana and a theology teacher at Father Duenas.

Perez is represented by Attorney David Lujan of the law firm Lujan and Wolff, which has so far filed 12 clergy sex abuse lawsuits against former and current priests on Guam, the Archdiocese of Agana, and as many as 50 unnamed people who may have helped, abetted, concealed or covered up sex abuses.

Lujan’s law firm said on Wednesday it does do not know where Anderson is right now, but that he is not on Guam. This is the first time Anderson’s name has been mentioned in any public allegation or accusation of clergy sex abuse on Guam.
