HONOLULU (AP) — Two former students of Damien Memorial School in Honolulu have sued one of their former teachers, accusing him of sexually abusing them while they were high school students in the 1980s.
The lawsuit names Brother Robert Brouillette and seeks unspecified damages. It also names the school and the Catholic diocese of Honolulu for allegedly allowing Brouillette to abuse the boys.
The lawsuit was filed in state court in Honolulu Wednesday under a new state law providing a two-year window for sexual abuse claims involving minors even if the statute of limitations expired. Brouillette has not been criminally charged.
The Associated Press could not immediately find a phone number to reach Brouillette.
