A man who filed the latest Guam clergy sexual abuse lawsuit said Wednesday he feared, as a child, that his devout Catholic parents wouldn’t believe him if he told them a priest he only knew as “Father Louis” was sexually abusing him during Boy Scout camping trips around 1972.
Now 58, the man identified in court documents only as “R.B.” in order to protect his privacy, said he’s not sure if he will ever forgive former priest Louis Brouillard for what he did to him and his fellow scouts.
“How can I forgive if I can’t forget about it?” R.B. said in a phone interview from Hawaii, where he now lives.
He said he has only one thing to say about Brouillard at this time: “May God have mercy on his soul.”
R.B. is the 43rd person to file a Guam clergy sex abuse lawsuit in local and federal court, alleging that Brouillard entered his camping tent on at least two separate occasions and sexually abused him, along with another scout he was sharing his tent with.
