A man facing 90 years in prison for sex crimes is set to renounce his United States citizenship.
Two weeks ago, Dwayne _____ appeared in the Superior Court of Guam to be sentenced for criminal sexual conduct charges. However, at the Feb. 14 hearing, Judge John Terlaje learned there were discussions on the possibility of Dwayne being deported.
Assistant Attorney General Christine Tenorio further explained during that hearing that Dwayne , a dual citizen, would need to renounce his United States citizenship for him to be deported, leading Terlaje to reschedule the sentencing to allow De Guzman and his family to discuss the decision.
On Thursday morning, Dwayne ‘s mother explained to Terlaje their family would prefer having the sentence handed down before deciding whether De Guzman would renounce his citizenship.
“I understand where you’re coming from, I appreciate that, but I don’t know how to do a sentencing and then have that caveat in it,” Terlaje said in response before adding that the minimum time De Guzman faces is five years, however, that could be reduced further to zero.
