A former San Vicente Catholic School teacher has been named in a new child sex abuse lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Guam yesterday.
S.L.H., 36, who used initials to protect his identity, alleges he was repeatedly sexually abused while attending the Catholic school from 1994 to 1996.
He alleges Michael J. Unpingco, his former math and homeroom teacher, was a trusted mentor and friend who began taking S.L.H. for meals to restaurants and giving him special math tutoring when he was in the sixth grade at the age of 12.
Lawsuit details abuse
The lawsuit states Unpingco began sexually molesting and raping S.L.H. on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. On repeated occasions the boy would ask Unpingco to stop abusing him sexually; however, it’s alleged that Unpingco used various “manipulative techniques” and did not stop the abuse.
Unpingco, on frequent occasions, told S.L.H. he should permit the sexual abuse because of all the personal favors he did for the boy, in an effort to make him feel guilty, court documents state.
