Lawsuit: Former Archbishop Apuron raped student on weekends
A private school opportunity on Guam to get a better education for one Saipan student turned into a year of sexual abuse that has traumatized the victim for decades, according to a new lawsuit filed against former Archbishop Anthony Apuron.
D.M., who used initials to protect his privacy, accused Apuron of raping and fondling him on multiple occasions while staying at the archbishop's personal residence in Agana Heights in 1994 and 1995.
The lawsuit names Apuron, the Archdiocese of Agana, Capuchin Franciscans and Father Duenas Memorial School.
D.M.'s parents were "highly educated" and were devout Catholics. They believed private schools offered a better education for their son than a Saipan school and arranged for him to attend high school on Guam when he was 14 years old.
