It’s been 38 years since Louis Brouillard left Guam after serving as a priest with the Archdiocese of Agana, but he has shown a “remarkable” level of clarity in his memory about his time and actions while on island, according to an attorney representing childhood sex abuse victims.

Brouillard, 96, has been undergoing several hours of questioning over the last few days in his hometown of Pine City, Minnesota, where depositions are being held.

Attorney Steven Reich, who represents former altar boys and Boy Scouts who allege they were sexually abused by Brouillard while he served at parishes on Guam for nearly four decades, said the retired priest has a “really sharp memory.”

While he wouldn’t comment on details of the retired priest’s testimony or if the priest showed any signs of remorse for his actions, Reich stated, “He was matter of fact about his memories, about what he recalls occurring.”
