Father Adrian Cristobal, who was sanctioned by the Archdiocese of Agana in 2018 for failing to return to Guam after he was named in three child sexual abuse lawsuits, has been accused of sexually abusing a fourth minor.

The fourth lawsuit against Cristobal was filed on Wednesday in federal court by a plaintiff identified in court documents only as D.D.D. to protect his privacy. D.D.D. said in his $5 million lawsuit that Cristobal sexually abused him from about early 2008 to 2010, when he was about 12 to 14 years old.

At the time of the alleged abuses, D.D.D. was a volunteer for the San Vicente Ferrer/San Roke Catholic Church in Barrigada, where Cristobal was the parish priest.

“During the entire two-year period when he served as a volunteer, plaintiff was sexually molested and abused every Saturday, without fail, by Adrian,” the lawsuit says.
