A former Cathedral Grade School student has accused the first Chamorro bishop of the Diocese of Agana of sexual abuse, a civil complaint filed in the District Court of Guam yesterday states.

A.J.R., now 62 years old, and using his initials to protect his identity, filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Agana accusing the late Archbishop Felixberto Camacho Flores of sexually molesting and abusing him when he was 11.

A.J.R. was attending Cathedral Grade School and Flores was a priest at the Agana Cathedral in 1966.

Flores played a prominent role in church affairs and was superintendent of Catholic schools in the ’50s, and the victim said students at the school were told to honor and respect nuns and priests and “do whatever” they were told to do.
