Former Guam priest Louis Brouillard did not show much emotion and remained fairly sharp mentally when he provided, over a four-day period, more information about the “tragic circumstances that allowed him to have access to Guam’s children for so many years,” according to one of the attorneys involved in dozens of lawsuits accusing Brouillard of child sex abuse.

Brouillard’s Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 deposition in Pine City, Minnesota, where he lives, brought together attorneys for most plaintiffs and defendants from different parts of the nation.

Seattle-based attorney Steven T. Reich, a partner at the law firm Pfau Cochran Vertetis Amala, said Brouillard was deposed over four days, and he “remained fairly sharp mentally, and cooperative throughout.”

“I asked Mr. Brouillard many pointed questions, and he appeared to make a genuine effort to provide honest answers. With regard to Mr. Brouillard’s demeanor, he did not show much emotion, and was rather matter of fact during his testimony,” said Reich, whose law firm works with Guam attorney Kevin Fowler in representing clergy sex abuse accusers.
