The attorney for one of Archbishop Anthony Apuron’s accusers is questioning the Guam Catholic church’s ability to conduct an unbiased investigation into a child molestation allegation against Apuron.
Several church officials, speaking on behalf of the archbishop, have recently said Roy Quintanilla — the former Guam resident who recently accused Apuron of molesting him while Quintanilla was an altar boy in Agat 40 years ago — is spreading lies.
Apuron has released a videotaped message, denying Quintanilla’s allegations. Apuron has not been charged with any crime.
Quintanilla has publicly given a detailed account of how he was allegedly molested by Apuron during a sleepover at Apuron’s home when Quintanilla was 12.
Quintanilla’s attorney, David Lujan, in a letter Thursday to Deacon Larry Claros, the Archdiocese of Agana’s sexual abuse response coordinator, questioned the church investigation process and whether it can be fair.
