Troy Torres, Gov. Eddie Calvo’s special policy adviser, sued the Archdiocese of Agana on Friday, alleging his former Catholic school music teacher, Ray Caluag, raped and sexually abused him when he was about 13 years old in 1993.
Torres, now 37, named Caluag and Saint Anthony Catholic School among the defendants in his lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Guam. Represented by attorney David Lujan, Torres demands a jury trial and $5 million in minimum damages.
Nearly 70 lawsuits have been filed since late last year, when Guam lifted the statute of limitations on childhood sexual abuse civil cases. Torres’ lawsuit is the second that doesn’t accuse a priest.
Torres was required to take music class while attending Saint Anthony Catholic School, the lawsuit states. At the time, Caluag was the school’s music and religion teacher, as well as director of drama productions, the complaint states.
