The number of clergy sex abuse lawsuits rises. Today, over three dozen plaintiffs are suing the institutions they allege failed to protect minors from known pedophile priests.

They’ll only be identified by their initials in an effort to protect their privacy, but they’re telling all when it comes to the abuse they endured while under the watch of Father Louis Brouillard. While he’s a known pedophile priest, the latest filings in the District Court of Guam provide horrific details of the sex abuse.

For 59-year-old R.M.C., he was neither an altar boy or a Boy Scout. According to his complaint, his family couldn’t afford the uniform or club fee, but Brouillard allowed him to join outings with other boys from the San Isidro Catholic Church in Malojloj anyway. The complaint details occasions where the priest would share his food with the boys, then encourage them to get naked and lay in his bed. One-by-one, he’d perform sex acts on them assuring them “this is not a sin” and “if this were a sin then we would not be enjoying this.”

R.M.C. says the priest would force his hands and head towards his privates, but somehow, he was able to sneak away.
