Former Altar Boy Accuses Guam Archbishop of Past Sex Abuse
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAGATNA, Guam — Jun 15, 2016, 3:20 PM ET
A former altar boy became the third person to publicly accuse Guam's archbishop of sexual abuse four decades ago, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
Roland Paul L. Sondia, 54, said he was 15 when Archbishop Anthony Apuron, then a parish priest, abused him during a sleepover in a church rectory in 1977, the Pacific Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/21mlTr9).
Two other men have come forward to accuse Apuron of sexual assault while they were minors in the 1970s.
Apuron has not been charged with any crime. He has denied abuse allegations.
