Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron has asked the court to dismiss the remaining claims in a $2 million defamation lawsuit filed against him by former altar boys.
Superior Court of Guam Judge Michael J. Bordallo had dismissed the slander claims against Apuron in the case, but not the libel claims.
Slander is spoken defamation, while libel is written defamation.
Apuron, through attorney Jacqueline Terlaje, said the plaintiffs have failed to show there was defamation and have failed to establish malice.
