Another priest, the now-deceased Monsignor Jose Ada Leon Guerrero, was added to the list of Guam clergy accused of sexually abusing or raping children.

A plaintiff, identified in court documents only as C.M.V. to protect his privacy, said in his complaint filed Wednesday that the priest sexually abused him, including penetration, when he was about 9 to 13 years old from about 1969 to 1973.

The priest allegedly abused the boy about twice a week for almost five years, and the priest would remind the boy not to tell anybody, the lawsuit says.

On several occasions, the priest would give the boy a gift to silence him, the complaint says.
