He’s a named plaintiff in four civil suits in the District Court of Guam for clergy sex abuse. But what’s the status with Archbishop Anthony Apuron’s canonical trial in Rome?
One Apuron accuser met with the group charged with the investigation and they report the end could be near.
Rewind to last summer, where Walter Denton announced publicly, “I was raped by Anthony Sablan Apuron, who at that time was a priest in Agat. I shouted out to father Anthony to stop. I kept shouting and I tried to move but all I could feel was him on top of me. It seemed like forever father Anthony stayed on top of me. I was crying out to him asking him to please stop.”
