A man said a former priest, who also was his scoutmaster, took nude photos of him at a Mangilao church rectory and sexually abused him in the early 1960s.

John A.B. Pangelinan, 67, said he was about 11 or 12 when former priest Louis Brouillard sexually abused him in or around 1961 or 1962. Brouillard was a scoutmaster in the Boy Scouts of America.

Pangelinan, now living in Mangilao, is the 33rd man to file a Guam clergy sex abuse lawsuit. He’s demanding at least $10 million in damages, double the minimum amount requested by others. the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Guam Friday afternoon, also names the Boy Scouts of America and the Boy Scouts of America Aloha Council Chamorro District as defendants.

The lawsuit says Brouillard approached Pangelinan when he was hanging out with a group of boys after a scouting event. The complaint states Brouillard told Pangelinan he wanted to take some pictures of him, and the boy thought it was for the Boy Scouts.
