A former altar boy who was allegedly sexually abused when he was 9 years old said he reported the abuse decades later to Catholic Church officials.
G.J., who used his initials to protect his identity, filed a civil complaint in the District Court of Guam yesterday against the Archdiocese of Agana and former priest Andrew Mannetta.
The lawsuit states G.J. became an altar boy at the Mangilao parish in 1985 to learn about priesthood and considered the Mangilao church his “second home.”
Attorney David Lujan, who represents G.J., accuses Mannetta of developing an “evil campaign” to induce altar boys to spend the night at the rectory so they wouldn’t be late to serve at early morning Mass.
