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.

Under the current law, Mr Brouillard cannot be prosecuted for the crimes to which he confessed. The statute of limitations for child molestation stands at two years.

Reverend Louis Brouillard served on the island between the 1940s and 1970s, during which he taught at two schools. Full story...
