A camping trip at Manenggon in Yona in 1973 turned into a nightmare for a former Boy Scout who recounted the horrific night in a lawsuit filed Monday in the District Court of Guam.

An individual with the initials “J.C.T.,” through attorney David Lujan, filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Agana, the Boy Scouts of America and former priest and Boy Scout master, Louis Brouillard.

When he was 15, “J.C.T.” and his tent mate were getting ready to sleep during a camping outing when he smelled tobacco and saw Brouillard enter his tent. The former Boy Scout accused the priest of fondling him and sexually abusing him while repeatedly telling him, “It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.”

The victim recalls when Brouillard was finished molesting and abusing him, he did the same to his tent mate. “J.C.T.” was very disturbed, exited the tent and hid in the bamboo area, court documents state.
