More Changing Stories

In my post Changing Stories, you saw how Rohr changed his story.  However, he was not the only one who was inconsistent with his stories.  Walter Denton is one of the accusers whom Rohr upholds in his blog.  Nevertheless, Denton is also one of those accusers who constantly changed his stories.  

Listen to the interview of Walter Denton with Jesse Lujan in the weblink below.  Listen carefully to the entire interview, which was dated June 9, 2016: 


Walter and Shirley Denton with Jesse Lujan on KUAM, June 9, 2016 from Undercover Neo on Vimeo.

In this June, 2016 interview, Denton stated that he overheard a small group of people at a funeral saying that one of his cousins was sexually abused by Apuron.   He was surprised and completely taken aback when he overheard this information and blurted out that he was also sexually abused by Apuron.  That story changed in March 2018.  According to news report:

He was attending his uncle's funeral and was back on Guam. A cousin started talking to him, and Apuron came up in the conversation. The cousin had seen Apuron sexually molesting another boy at the rectory who was planning to come forward, according to Denton.  

Oh...so now it is not one of his cousins who was sexually abused as he claimed in the interview?  It was a cousin telling him that he has seen Apuron sexually molesting another boy and that this person  planned to come forward.  Interestingly, a Ramon De Plata came forward claiming he saw Apuron sexually molesting another boy, and that boy just happen to be deceased (See the story here).  For all we know, this March 2018 story was most likely the story he told the Vatican Tribunal.   

Nevertheless, why the change in story?  After all, we already know that it was Mae Ada (a member of LFM) who blurted out in the public radio that a person admitted he was sexually abused by Apuron.  That person was later identified as Walter Denton. Mae Ada clearly described how that young man overheard them speaking about Apuron and he blurted out that he was also sexually abused by Apuron.  Mae Ada stated that his mother was present in that small group of people and heard her son say that. Even Rohr admitted the same story in his blog.  

So, why the change in story?  See also the story here    

During the course of the interview, Denton was also asked if he had ever spoken to the other altar boys about the abuse.  His answer was "no."  He also described how he confided with Father Jack Niland.  Denton implied in the interview that he was alone when speaking to Father Jack.  

However, in later interviews with Denton, he changed his story again.  According to news report dated June 17, 2016 (the bold is mine):

Denton said he and another boy who claimed to have also been molested by Apuron went to the other priest and confessed what happened to them.
According to Denton, the other priest seemed surprised by the revelations but then reportedly told the boys that “the priesthood is a lonely life.”
Denton said he was “stunned” after hearing this statement and already knew nothing would be done by the church to investigate Apuron. He then decided to keep the incident a secret for most of his life, not telling his parents out of fear that his father might overreact and harm Apuron. 

So, there was an altar boy whom he spoke to.  There was an altar boy with him when he confided in Father Jack.  In fact, both altar boys confided with Father Jack that they were sexually abused by Apuron.  Denton never told the public who that altar boy was, but if he told the Vatican that it was Roy Quintanilla, then there is a problem.  Roy Quintanilla claimed that he never went public until now because he thought he was the only one.  The other problem is.....in the interview with Jesse Lujan, why did he say that he did not speak to any of the other altar boys?    

Obviously, these are inconsistent stories.  Why the inconsistency?  Could this be the reason why 5 expert canon lawyers say that the guilty verdict was not on child sexual abuse?  Could it be that the Tribunal found the same inconsistent stories as they interviewed the accusers?  Unfortunately, Archbishop Byrnes is more interested in monetary settlement rather than a search for the truth. 

A man who constantly changes his story is a man who has something to hide.  Truth does not change stories.  Truth always remain consistent.
