The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) is calling for the resignation of Archbishop Anthony Apuron following a public accusation of sexual abuse made against him.
The Illinois-based group commended Roy Taitague Quintanilla for coming forward Tuesday and naming Apuron as the man who he said molested him as a 12-year-old altar boy serving at the local Catholic church in Agat.
Apuron hasn’t been charged with any crime, and no lawsuit has been filed.
Quintanilla said the abuse reportedly happened about 40 years ago when Apuron was a priest at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish in Agat.
Joelle Casteix, SNAP’s Western regional director, issued a statement about 20 minutes after Quintanilla’s story went public.
