An 18th clergy sex abuse lawsuit was filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court of Guam.

Anthony Lujan, 50, of Barrigada, alleged former island priest Louis Brouillard sexually abused him when he was an altar boy, a Boy Scouts of America scout, and while attending San Vicente Catholic School in or about 1979. He said he was about 12 years old at the time.

Brouillard, now 95 and living in Minnesota, publicly admitted to sexually abusing more than 20 altar boys when he was on Guam from the late 1940s to 1981.

David Lujan said the clergy sex abuse lawsuits could double in the weeks ahead as more victims come forward, including possibly three more accusing Saipan’s Bishop Emeritus Tomas A. Camacho of sexual abuse when he was a priest on Guam decades ago.
