A new lawsuit alleging sexual abuse by a priest has been filed in the District Court of Guam.
In the lawsuit, a man using the initials A.J.A. names the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Agana as a corporate entity; the Capuchin Franciscans; the Capuchin Franciscans Province of Saint Mary; and other unnamed individuals and entities.
When he was 9 years old, A.J.A. was sexually molested and abused by Father Antonio C. Cruz, an ordained priest of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Agana, the lawsuit states. The plaintiff now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The priest, who was assigned to the Chalan Pago Parish, died in November 1986 at the age of 62.
