Former priest Louis Brouillard allegedly used church monetary offerings, or limosna, to reward boys he would later sexually abused, according to the 51st Guam clergy sex abuse lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Brouillard allegedly sexually abused a man identified in court documents as G.B., when G.B. was around 12 and an altar boy and member of the Boy Scouts of America in 1973, the complaint says. Brouillard was a scoutmaster at the time.

“During the period in which he was a Boy Scout, G.B. was sexually molested and abused by Brouillard,” the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of Guam says. G.B. also served as an altar boy at the Nuestra Señora de las Aguas Catholic Church in Mongmong.

The lawsuit states G.B.’s parents attended Mass at the Mongmong parish regularly and faithfully gave limosna as a demonstration of their trust and support for the Catholic Church, unaware the church exposed their son to a priest who was molesting their son.
