Priest Allegedly Molested 5 Students As Punishment
By Haidee V Eugenio
Now-deceased priest Ray Techaira sexually molested five San Vicente Catholic School minor students at the same time as punishment for getting into trouble during school hours, according to one of the latest lawsuits filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court of Guam. Two other lawsuits, filed by former altar boys, accuse former priest Louis Brouillard of sexual abuse and molestation. The three plaintiffs are represented by attorney David Lujan. The lawsuits filed by K.Q., A.M. and D.M. bring to 95 the total number of childhood sexual abuse cases filed in local and federal courts against the Archdiocese of Agana. K.Q., now 44, accused Techaira of sexually molesting and abusing him when he was a student at San Vicente Catholic School in Barrigada, where Techaira was a teacher. “One day during school hours, K.Q. and four other boys who were also students at San Vicente got into trouble and were being disciplined by Techaira. While the boys were with Techaira, Techaira ordered K.Q. and the four boys to drop their pants. Techaira then proceeded to fondle and kiss each of their (private parts),” the lawsuit says. K.Q. demands a jury trial and $5 million in minimum damages.
A.M., now 56 years old, alleged that Brouillard sexually molested and abused him from about 1972 to 1973 when he was about 11 or 12, either on parish grounds or at Boy Scouts of America outings. D.M., in his lawsuit, alleges that Brouillard sexually molested him when he was about 9 years old in or about 1970. Now 56, D.M. was an altar boy at San Isidro Catholic Church in Malojloj and later joined the Boy Scouts. The lawsuit alleges that Brouillard would abuse and molest D.M. and other boys at the convent and forced them to perform sexual acts. D.M. and A.M. demand a jury trial and $10 million in minimum damages each. Contact: heugenio@guampdn.com
