McG spent time with Eugene's family in Munich and with Eugene at camp in Bavaria during McG's tertianship, and then brought him to Loyola Academy in 1965. Eugene was allegedly abused sexually in Germany. The boy lived with McGuire at Loyola Academy (which is not a boarding school) and McG "made continuous threats of deportation" if Eugene "did not do what he wanted him to do." It is unclear whether Eugene alleges sexual abuse at Loyola. There was "continual psychological and physical abuse." Eugene's parents gave generously to McG and Eugene even bought a car for him.
