A third child sex abuse lawsuit was filed Tuesday against Father Adrian Cristobal, who hasn’t obeyed Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes’ repeated directives to return to Guam since the first allegation came out in April.
The latest lawsuit was filed by a former altar boy identified in court documents only as J.E. to protect his privacy.
J.E., in his lawsuit, said Cristobal sexually molested and abused him when he served as an altar boy at San Vicente Ferrer/San Roke Catholic Church in Barrigada from about 1995 to 1997. He was about 10 to 12 years old at the time.
Now 33, J.E. said in his lawsuit that Cristobal on numerous occasions instructed him to massage his back. This was at the Barrigada parish and the priest’s residence, the lawsuit says.
“Afterwards, Father Adrian would grope, fondle and squeeze J.E.’s private parts, which caused J.E. extreme pain and eventually led to J.E. repeatedly urinating on himself,” the lawsuit says.
J.E., represented by Attorney David Lujan, demands $5 million in minimum damages.
