Guam removes statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases

Hagatna, Guam Guam has removed the statute of limitations on civil litigation in cases involving accusations of child sex abuse over the objections of the Catholic archdiocese.
Gov. Eddie Calvo signed Bill 326-33 into law late Sept. 23 amid a flurry of controversy from both oppositional and proponent parties. Among the opponents was the Agana archdiocese, which circulated among parishioners a petition asking the governor to veto the bill.
