A former Archdiocese of Agana priest on Monday corrected a previous court filing by inserting the word “alleged” in defending himself from an allegation that he sexually abused a girl from Saipan when she vacationed on Guam in 1963.
“While making this correction, defendant takes the added opportunity to again deny the accusation of clergy sex abuse which he supposedly did on ‘B.T.’, and requests — and looks forward to — a trial by jury at the earliest,” former priest Andrew San Agustin said in a May 21 court filing.
San Agustin, who voluntarily left the priesthood and is now known as Joe R. San Agustin, is representing himself in the case. He had said he can’t afford legal counsel.
