Former Guam priest and now Saipan Bishop Emeritus Tomas A. Camacho on Wednesday was accused for the second time of sexually abusing a former altar boy, this time by a man identified in a federal court complaint only as B.C.
B.C., represented by attorney David Lujan, said in the complaint he was about 10 years old around 1962 when Camacho sexually abused him numerous times when Camacho was priest at the Nuestra Señora de las Aguas Catholic Church in Mongmong.
B.C.’s complaint brings to 57 the total number of clergy sex abuses cased filed so far in local and federal court.
“One particular occasion, while B.C. was in the rectory eating bread after cleaning around the church, he found porn magazines in the rectory and started to look at them. A few minutes later, Camacho walked in and caught B.C. looking at the porn magazines and threatened to tell B.C.’s mother. B.C. was scared and begged Camacho, ‘Please don’t do that,'” the complaint says. Camacho again sexually abused B.C., the lawsuit states.
