A spokesperson for the Bergen County’s District Attorney’s office told the Irish Voice, “This is a case where the information on the computer systems that were confiscated need to be analyzed, which takes a while.”

The case will be ready to be presented to the grand jury in the next 30 to 60 days when the analysis is complete. 

Benson was born in England and grew up in Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo. He attended St. Louis Secondary School in the town before emigrating to the U.S.

Benson eventually opened up his own construction firm, Alpine Group, which specializes in hardwood flooring. The company is 15 years old.

An online business report shows Alpine’s annual revenue is between $2.5 to $5 million. It also states that the company employs a staff of approximately 20 to 49.

It is unclear if Benson’s company in New Jersey is still functioning. Numerous calls to his office went straight through to an answering machine. A message left for Benson from the Irish Voice was not returned.

The Alpine Group’s website states that the company “believes that truth sets us free.”

It reads, “Every Alpine Group team member is trained in the concept that honesty is expected and rewarded, always. In our dealings with our clients, insurance companies and employees we are 100% honest 100% of the time.”
