Troy Torres is seeking $5 million in damages.

Guam - Troy Torres, the governor's senior advisor, has filed a sexual abuse complaint in District Court against his former music Teacher at St. Anthony Catholic School, Ray Caluag.

Torres' complaint is the first to indicate that the sexual abuse was reported to the Guam Police Department as well.

"However, Caluag was never arrested," court documents state.

Torres has previously indicated on social media that he was sexually abused as a minor by a former teacher. In his complaint, Torres alleges that he was first raped by Caluag when he was 13 years old and in the 8th grade at the catholic school. Torres says it happened on December 8, 1993, which is when the island usually celebrates the procession for Santa Marian Kamalen. Torres was ordered to report to school for drama practice, but says he was the only student there.

Caluag then took Torres to his home, forced him to perform oral sex on Caluag, the complaints states, and then raped him.

"After Caluag was done, he dropped Troy home," the complaint reads.

According to Torres, he reported the sexual abuse to another teacher, identified as "Mr. Yanger," who then shared the information with the school principal at the time, "Sister Kathleen." The complaint says Sister Kathleen then contacted Torres' father.

"In or about 1994, Troy's father took him to Guam Police Department and filed a complaint, however Caluag was never arrested," the report states.

Torres' complaint marks the second to be filed against Caluag and the 69th to be filed against the Archdiocese of Agana. The first complaint filed against Caluag, who's only identified by his initial B.W.J., was also by a former student at St. Anthony Catholic School.

Torres is seeking $5 million in damages.
