Five new Guam clergy sex abuse cases were filed in federal court Thursday, accusing former priest Louis Brouillard and defrocked priest Raymond Cepeda of molesting boys decades ago.
The five plaintiffs, represented by attorney David Lujan, bring to 91 the total number of childhood sexual abuse lawsuits filed so far in local or federal courts against the Archdiocese of Agana. Priests, the Boy Scouts of America and other entities are also listed as defendants in the lawsuits.
Plaintiffs identified in court documents only as N.P.J.D. and B.B.J., to protect their privacy, alleged that Cepeda abused them. They demand a jury trial and $5 million in minimum damages each.
N.P.J.D., now 50, said he was 12 or 13 around 1979 or 1980 when Cepeda molested him. The boy was a student at Santa Barbara Catholic School in Dededo, according to the lawsuit.
