The newest child sexual abuse lawsuit filed in Guam today alleges a former Guam priest used his position within the church to molest altar boys from his own parish and used his post as a Boy Scout troop leader to abuse children from other parishes.
The complaint identifies the plaintiff only as “R.B.” and states the man’s initials are being used “in order to protect his privacy.”
In his complaint, R.B., who lives in Hawaii, alleges that in the early 1970s, he and his family were parishioners at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Inarajan, Guam. Because St. Joseph Catholic Church did not have a Boy Scout Troop of its own, R.B. claims that he joined Boy Scout Troop 24, which he alleges was sponsored by San Isidro Parish in Malojloj, where former Guam priest Louis Brouillard served as parish priest.
According to court documents and Guam Daily Post files, Brouillard served at the Malojloj parish between the late 1960s into the 1970s where he is alleged to have abused at least 16 boys who were either altar servers or members of Boy Scout Troop 24.
