Doris Y. Concepcion said Thursday it is now up to Rome to decide Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron’s fate, after she testified before a Vatican tribunal about Apuron’s alleged sexual abuse of her son in the 1970s.
Concepcion said her deceased son, Joseph “Sonny” A. Quinata, shortly before he died 12 years ago, told her that Apuron molested him when he was an altar boy in Agat.
“I did what I have and needed to do from the get-go. All I ever wanted from all this was to expose Apuron and have him defrocked,” said Concepcion, now living in Prescott, Arizona.
The Vatican tribunal led by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke received Concepcion’s personal testimony in Arizona in March, followed on March 17 in California by former altar boy Walter Denton, who accused Apuron of raping him in a church rectory when he was 13 in 1977.
