A man on Tuesday filed a lawsuit, alleging that now-deceased Boy Scouts of America scout leader Edward Pereira raped and sexually abused him in the early 1970s. It is the first of 93 sexual abuse lawsuits that does not name the Archdiocese of Agana as a defendant.
Another lawsuit filed Tuesday, by a man now living in California, alleges that now-deceased priest Ray Techaira sexually abused him when he was a Catholic school student in the mid-1980s.
The two plaintiffs, represented by attorney David Lujan, filed their lawsuits in the U.S. District Court of Guam. Both are identified in court documents only by their initials to protect their privacy.
T.P.J., in his complaint, alleges that Pereirawould sexually molest and abuse him every time he rode with Pereira, who dropped him home after scouting activities.
