A third victim has come forward alleging he was sexually abused by former Guam priest, Andrew Mannetta, for two years while he served as an altar boy at the Mangilao parish in 1983.
An individual, using the initials “C.C.” to protect his identity, filed a civil complaint in the District Court of Guam yesterday against Mannetta and the Archdiocese of Agana.
C.C., who is now 43, alleges that the abuse began when he was 8 years old.
Mannetta was the priest at the Mangilao church at the time and allegedly required C.C. and other altar boys to sleep at the rectory to help prepare for early morning masses.
The lawsuits states Mannetta sexually molested and abused C.C. on one sleepover. Mannetta told him, “Big boys don’t cry.” The victim alleges he awoke later that same night to find Mannetta touching him, again causing him to cry.
