Camaddu takes stand in trial

by Mindy Aguon

Guam - Nicholas Camaddu took the stand today in his own defense.  Over the course of the last week jurors have heard from the government's witnesses namely three females who are known to Camaddu who allege he sexually abused them for years. 

The girls testified that he would orally and digitally penetrate them on numerous occasions beginning as early as when they were in kindergarten. A tearful Camaddu denied the testimony claiming he had good relationships with the girls who he claims would often ask him for favors and things.

He denied ever threatening to kill or harm the girls if they told anyone.  Jurors were admonished not to speak to anyone about the case and to return on Friday for jury instructions and closing arguments.
