Lawsuit: Abuse victim told to 'get over it'

A former altar boy described eight years of sexual abuse at the hands of a former priest in a civil suit filed in the District Court of Guam yesterday. He alleges he made several attempts to report the abuse to church officials, but was told he would "get over it."
P.P., who used initials to protect his privacy, alleges the abuse began when he was 15 while serving as an altar boy and facilitator for the Catechism program at Santa Barbara Church in Dededo.
