Archishop Anthony Apuron isn’t considering settling sex abuse lawsuits against him while his canonical trial is ongoing.

The canonical trial may be coming to a conclusion, said his attorney in the abuse lawsuits, Jacqueline Terlaje.

“I’ve received word that there may be a decision forthcoming but it’s always prospective, especially when it comes from a sovereign nation,” Terlaje said after a hearing at the District Court of Guam Tuesday morning.

Attorney David Lujan, counsel for all Guam clergy sex abuse cases filed in federal court, said he doesn’t care much about Aputon’s Vatican canonical trial.
