The Archdiocese of Agana’s second-highest official yesterday warned Archbishop Anthony Apuron’s public accuser that any further attempt to approach the archbishop “will be responded to appropriately and in accordance with law.”
John Toves has made numerous public allegations in recent weeks that a relative of his, a former high school co-seminarian of Toves on Guam, was allegedly sexually molested by Apuron when they were both altar boys three decades ago. Toves further alleged Apuron was a priest at the time.
The 50-year-old Toves went to the archdiocese’s Chancery office yesterday, the second time he did so in two days, in an attempt to confront the archbishop and urge Apuron to step down.
Monsignor David Quitugua, who, as vicar general, is the archdiocese’s second-highest official, wrote to Toves yesterday that Toves’ request to meet with the archbishop has been denied.
