John A.B. Pangelinan claims former Guam priest Father Louis Brouillard took nude photographs of him.

Guam - A 33rd lawsuit has been filed against the Archdiocese of Agana, naming once again former Guam priest Father Louis Brouillard as the alleged sexual predator. This time the alleged victim is seeking $10 million in damages which is double the amount previous accusers are seeking.

This latest lawsuit was filed by John A.B. Pangelinan who is now 67 years old. The sexual abuse, he claims, happened when he was 11 or 12 years old and a member of the Boy Scouts.

Pangelinan said at one point, Brouillard ordered him to follow him into the Mangilao parish rectory for a "photo shoot." At the time, Pangelinan says he assumed the photo shoot was for the Boy Scouts and agreed. But once inside, Pangelinan says Brouillard made him remove his clothes and stand in front of a three-sided mirro, then proceeded to photograph him.

Pangelinan also accused Brouillard of groping him while swimming during outing activities.
