Archbishop Anthony Apuron, whose administrative authority has been removed in light of decades-old sex-abuse allegations, today filed court papers asking for some of the cases to be dismissed.
Apuron’s motion to dismiss states, in part, that the allegations of sex abuse filed by former altar boys against Apuron are past the legal time limit to file cases.
Apuron filed his motion in his personal capacity. The motion was filed on his behalf by Attorney Jacqueline Terlaje.
The passage of Guam Public Law 33-187 last year cannot be applied to allegations that occurred before the law was passed, the motion to dismiss states, in part.
