In response to the newest court filings alleging child sex abuse by Guam clergy, the Archdiocese of Agana extends prayer to all victims. On Thursday, three more complaints for damages were filed.

Bruce Diaz and Vicente Perez alleged they were molested by Father Louis Brouillard when they were altar boys in the Barrigada parish and while they were Boy Scouts, where he served as scoutmaster. The third case was filed by the estate of the late Joseph Quinata. His mother, Doris Concepcion, alleged he told her on his deathbed that he had been molested by Archbishop Anthony Apuron decades ago.

In a statement issued this afternoon, the archdiocese acknowledged that Father Brouillard confessed to the abuse and extended their deepest apologies to the victims. They additionally conveyed prayers to Quinata and his family.
