An 11th priest has been added to the list of Guam clergy accused of sexually abusing children decades ago. Monsignor Zoilo L.G. Camacho, who died about a decade ago, is named in a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court. Camacho is the brother of another accused priest, Juan Camacho.
Defrocked priest Raymond Cepeda also sexually abused the same boy, according to the complaint, filed by a man identified in court documents as H.J.C.
H.J.C., now 53 and living on Guam, is represented by attorney David Lujan. H.J.C.’s complaint is the 58th Guam clergy sex abuse lawsuit filed so far in federal and local courts.
The complaint states Zoilo Camacho sexually abused H.J.C from around 1974 to 1978 when he was 11 to 15 years old, and he also was abused by Cepeda from around 1978 to 1980, when he was about 15 to 17.
