Pastor G Resigned with Generous Benefits, Severance Pay and Housing
Richmond Outreach Center founding pastor Geronimo "Pastor G" Aguilar, who resigned with three other pastors from the church amid an explosive sex scandal on June 5, will continue to receive his $115,930 annual salary and reside in the church's half-million dollar parsonage until December.
The severance deal was arrived by the ROC board of directors "after much discussion and taking his family into consideration," according to a report in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The ROC church announced the resignation of their founding pastor, Pastor Jason Helmlinger, Pastor Andrew Delgado and Pastor G's brother, Pastor Matthew Aguilar, in a brief statement on June 5.
All the resignations stemmed from Pastor G's extradition to Texas in late May to face seven felony charges, including aggravated sexual assault of two sisters under age 14. The charges are related to incidents that occurred before he began the ROC ministry in 2003. If convicted, he will face life in prison.
Attorney for the ROC Stephen C. Lewis explained that the board felt Pastor G deserved the severance package because of his years of service as the founder of the church.
