With the exception of the Archdiocese of Agana, defendants in Guam’s approximately 280 clergy sex abuse cases have either settled with abuse claimants or they are actively negotiating settlements.
While each sex abuse lawsuit has more than one defendant, almost all have the archdiocese in common as a defendant.
The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy a year ago and has not reached any settlement yet.
The Boy Scouts of America and Capuchin Franciscans have settled with many of the claimants, based on reports of settlement status filed in federal court by attorneys representing defendants and plaintiffs.
