It turns out Deacon Stephen Martinez not only filed a report with Archbishop Anthony Apuron about information he's received regarding allegations of sexual contact between Fr. Luis Camacho and a 17-year-old minor but has also written a letter about how he remains "gravely concerned with a growing pattern of sexual deviancy from RMS (Redemptoris Mater Seminary) trained priests and seminaries," he wrote. 

As we reported Fr. Luis studied at RMS. The priest was arrested last week after police found him in a parked car at an Agat beach with a 17-year-old girl. He was arrested for Custodial Interference. Police said the girl was supposed to be in school at the time she was found with Fr. Luis. Although little information was released about what they were doing in the car, in his report filed with the Archbishop and Child Protective Services, Deacon Martinez alleged there was sexual contact between the two. 

In the follow up letter written by Deacon Martinez he is concerned about Fr. Luis' connection to the NCW (Neocatechumenal Way), "It is my understanding that the girl whom Fr. Luis had cunnilingus with is a member of the NCW, and her parents as well. It appears that Fr. Luis used his position of authority as presbyter of an NCW community to take advantage of this child. This is a grave abuse of trust and a tendency which a proper psychological examination may have disclosed. Unfortunately this is not the only incident which raises alarm bells about problems within the RMS formation and screening process. I certainly hope the victim's participation in the NCW, and that of her parents, was not exploited to convince them not to press charges against Fr. Luis. Prudence would dictate this is a question an independent investigator should follow up upon," Martinez wrote.

The Deacon also alleged other disturbing actions by members of the clergy including Fr. Edivaldo. He alleged that in November 2013 the priest during a Eucharistic Congress at Ypao Beach warned young girls in attendance about boys, " the boys will treat girls like oranges, sucking the sweet juice from them, and when they are all dried up the boys will spit them out," he wrote in his letter to the Archbishop. 

In another instance, the deacon wrote about a recent mass at the Cathedral Basilica in which the brother of Fr. Luis and RMS Seminarian, Gabe Camacho allegedly boasted to adults and children present "I don't know how many girls I've taken advantage of... I should maybe have two children, three children, not even with the same woman".Martinez also wrote about his concerns about Fr. John Wadeson, who left Guam last year amid controversy. "Fr. Wadeson was allowed to minister to parishes and NCW communities in San Francisco even after the Archdiocese of Agana found out he had credible allegations of sexual abuse leveled against him while he was a priest teaching in Los Angeles". 

The Deacon further accuses the Archbishop of doing nothing and ignoring his own policies about sexual abuse, "your blatant refusal to address my legitimate efforts to protect the people of Guam and your subsequent action to remove me as your SARC (Sexual Abuse Response Coordinator) could be construed as dangerous lapses in leadership which may be exploited by abuse victims wishing to act against the Archdiocese," he wrote. It was in October of last year that Deacon Martinez was notified by Archbishop Apuron that his services as SARC were no longer needed and while Deacon Martinez told KUAM "I do not know why I was removed" his removal came shortly after he brought up concerns regarding the church's sexual abuse policy just two months prior. 

He further tells KUAM that he is extremely concerned as a clergy member that the policy is flawed and could cause financial distress for the Archdiocese. 

Martinez added that he is appalled as a parent and grandparent and is concerned for the safety of children. He says he will continue to write letters to the Archbishop if he feels it is warranted, but at this time he has not recieved any response from Apuron. He says "it is up to Archbishop Apuron if he would like to meet with me." He says although he no longer is the SARC it is still his duty as a clergy member to protect the Catholic community.
