The Holy See, or the Vatican, has been named as a defendant in a clergy sex abuse lawsuit filed on Monday in local court against Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron by his own nephew.
Mark Mafnas Apuron’s Jan. 14, 2019 lawsuit in the Superior Court of Guam is similar to the lawsuit he filed in federal court last year against his uncle.
Mark Apuron’s two lawsuits accuse Archbishop Apuron of raping him when he was a teen, about 15 or 16 years old, around 1989 or 1990, in the bathroom of the Archdiocese of Agana Chancery Office.
Previous lawsuits against the archbishop alleged that he raped or sexually abused minor altar boys when he was still the parish priest in Agat in the 1970s.
