Another slew of bills are slated for the legislative floor today as senators begin session. At the top of the agenda is Bill 326-33, a measure that seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for civil claims involving sexually abused children.
A series of public hearings on the bill saw testimony from alleged victims of Archbishop Anthony Apuron and other priests. Leo Tudela, the eldest of the accusers at 73 years old, alleged for the first time during his testimony in early August that he was sexually abused by Rev. Louis Brouillard in the 1950s.
Apuron’s accusers, on the other hand, each made public statements about their alleged abuse at different times. All four accusers, however, have filed a $2 million libel and slander lawsuit against Apuron and other officials of the Archdiocese of Agana.
