A third complaint alleging sexual abuse against former Archdiocese of Agana Chancellor Adrian Cristobal was filed Tuesday in the District Court of Guam.

J.E., 33, who used initials to protect his identity, alleges he was abused for two years while he was an altar server at San Vicente Ferrer/San Roke Catholic Church in Barrigada.

The victim, who now lives in Virginia, said the abuse began when he was 10 years old when Cristobal served as a priest at the parish.

The lawsuit alleges J.E. was instructed to massage Cristobal’s back at the parish and at the priest’s residence. After the massage Cristobal allegedly groped, fondled and squeezed the boy’s private parts causing extreme pain, the lawsuit states.
