A 58-year-old man alleges a priest, who was a family friend, would often visit his home when he was a teen and sexually abuse him.
L.J.G., who used initials to protect his identity, filed a civil complaint in the District Court of Guam yesterday against the Archdiocese of Agana. The case alleges the victim was sexually abused in 1974 by Antonio C. Cruz, who was a priest at Our Lady of Peace and Safe Journey church in Chalan Pago.
The lawsuit alleges Cruz was close friends with L.J.G.’s parents and visited the boy’s home on a weekly basis.
During those visits, documents state, Cruz sexually molested and abused L.J.G. who was 15 years old at the time.
