A woman from Saipan has asked the court to dismiss a recent counter-claim filed by a former Guam priest who denied allegations that he sexually abused her when she was about 12 years old, around 1963.

Former priest Andrew San Agustin, now known as Joe R. San Agustin, told the court he’s been harmed by the accusations against him and asked the federal court to award damages for pain and suffering.

A woman identified in court documents only as B.T. to protect her privacy, on March 14 filed a motion to dismiss San Agustin’s counter-claim.
