HAGATNA, Guam —
Guam Gov. Eddie Calvo said Friday he signed a bill that would lift the
statute of limitations on child sex abuse charges for civil cases after
allegations were made earlier this year by a Casa Grande man and three
others that they were abused as children by the local archbishop.
Catholic leaders say the move could bankrupt the church in the largely Catholic U.S. territory. The bill, which does not apply to criminal prosecutions, was approved by the Legislature after abuse allegations surfaced against Archbishop Anthony Apuron.
