The Archdiocese of Agana claims years of attacks and recent
allegations made against Archbishop Anthony Apuron are part of malicious
smear campaign against him and a plot to take him down.
Following a press conference held by the former sex abuse response coordinator for the Archdiocese of Agana, Deacon Stephen Martinez, the archdiocese is firing back. Martinez claimed the sex abuse policy was flawed because the archbishop essentially has the final say in all complaints that are filed and investigated. Two people have come forward alleging allegations of sexual molestation against the archbishop when he was a priest at Mount Carmel Church in Agat decades ago.
