The attorney representing Monsignor James Benavente not only wants the complaint against his client withdrawn, but wants an apology letter, as well. In a letter from Attorney David Lujan to Attorney Jacque Terlaje on Monday, he threatens to take legal steps should she fail to comply.

Last Friday, Attorney Terlaje signed off on a resolution by the Catholic Cemeteries board to file a complaint with the Guam Police Department for the misuse of over $13,000 in church funds for Monsignor Benavente's 20th anniversary dinner in 2014.

In a press conference on Monday, the church cleared monsignor's name a second time and noted the resolution was not by unanimous consent of all board members, nor was there authorization from the church to release the confidential documents.

The church has asked all board members who supported the resolution to resign.

Attorney Terlaje has committed to provide a comment on the matter on Wednesday.
