The clock is ticking for the Archdiocese of Agana and Archbishop Anthony Apuron to respond to the $2 million libel and slander lawsuit against them. The legal papers were served to the defendants late last month – that gives the defendants up to next Thursday and Friday to respond to the suit.
The plaintiffs listed are Roy Quintanilla, Walter Denton, Roland Sondia, and Doris Concepcion (on behalf of her late son Joseph “Sonny” Quinata). Each of the plaintiffs alleges Apuron molested them decades ago while he was a priest at Mount Carmel Parish in Agat. The suit follows press release and video statements from the archdiocese and Apuron.
