It was earlier this week the first female filed suit against the Church. B.T. was a student at Mt. Carmel School in Saipan when she alleges she was sexually molested by Father Joe R. San Agustin during a trip to Guam. According to Coadjutor Archbishop Michael Byrnes, the named defendant is no longer with the Archdiocese as he was laicized at his request in the 1970s.
“He’s been long laicized, I was just looking into that case yesterday trying to figure out where he was, when,” Byrnes confirmed.
KUAM confirmed that San Agustin is a member of the Concerned Catholics of Guam.
