A new civil suit alleging clergy sexual abuse has been filed against various Catholic Capuchin entities, including San Vicente School in Barrigada.

The complaint in Guam district court seeks a jury trial on behalf of "AAAA" who was allegedly assaulted in the mid-1960's by the late Monsignor Zoilo Camacho while he was a student at the school.

Court documents allege that when the plaintiff was a third-grader he was disciplined by Camacho, who spanked him with a paddle, and then ordered him to remove his shorts and was sexually assaulted. The complaint says the alleged abuse continued for two to three years, and that Camacho would give the plaintiff money to buy candy and soda "as a way to groom him to become and remain a victim of sexual abuse."

The suit was filed on behalf of plaintiff AAAA by Attorney David Lujan.
