Priest who molested ‘maybe 20 boys’ says he was ordered to pray as punishment

A Catholic priest who sexually abused “maybe 20” boys was instructed to say prayers to repent for his crimes.

 

The 95-year-old admitted to molesting boys on Guam, a US island in the Pacific, and said he “got the impression that kids liked it”.

 

According to Mr Brouillard, other Church members at the time knew about the abuse but they did not tell him to stop. Instead they told him to pray.
