Guam – Another sexual abuse lawsuit has been filed against the Archdiocese of Agana.

The plaintiff, known only by the initials “C.A.” names the late Father Daniel Cristobal, who was a capuchin priest, in his lawsuit. This is the first time Father Daniel has been named in a lawsuit.

Court documents state the alleged abuse began in 1979 when C.A. was about 8 years old, immediately after he became an altar boy at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Santa Rita.

At that time, documents say Cristobal told C.A. he was so happy he was an altar boy, then told him to “come here.” At this point, it’s alleged that Cristobal asked CA to stand in front of him and that he was going to “bless” him.
