The Archdiocese of Agana and the Boy Scouts of America should have known about the “sexually abusive and exploitative propensities” of a priest who served in parishes around the island for more than two decades and also served as a leader in the Scouts organization in Guam, said a new lawsuit filed in the District Court of Guam.
An individual identified with the initials “J.D.” to protect his identity, filed a lawsuit that marks the 49th civil complaint lodged against the Catholic Church in Guam.
J.D. alleges that he was sexually molested and abused by Father Louis Brouillard over a three-year period while J.D. was an altar boy at San Isidro Catholic Church in Malojloj and a Boy Scout.
The lawsuit alleges that Brouillard obtained permission from J.D.’s parents to spend the night so the boy wouldn’t be late to serve the next day as an altar boy during early morning Masses.
