Leo Tudela recalls his allegations of sexual abuse at age 13 by a monk at the Saint Fidelis Friary, seen in the background, in Hagatna, Guam. Tudela was eventually moved to live in the rectory of another church where Rev. Louis Brouillard took interest in him. That began an eight-month period during which Tudela alleges he was regularly raped and molested. "We're all human beings, so there is always forgiveness, but this person, I don't think God will forgive him," he said. Brother Mariano Laniyo and Brouillard are now dead. Brouillard acknowledged abuse allegations before he died.
