According to online reports, Long settled out of court with his 4 male accusers, who were teenagers of legal age when he plied them with cash and gifts in exchange for sex. Maurice Robinson, 21, Anthony Flagg, 22, Jamal Parris and another man, claimed the Bishop “coerced” and “enticed” them with exotic trips, clothing and cars. In one case, he paid the young man’s college tuition.
Long was a fierce opponent of gay marriage and often preached anti-gay sermons from the pulpit. All the while a fire burned inside him that only the touch of young boys could extinguish.
Long vigorously denied the allegations when the news broke last September. Throughout the ordeal the Bishop’s long suffering wife and their four grown children stood beside him. Their support never wavered.
Myopiniononly:: the young men who sued him should not have they had already been paid for there services , i feel the Bishop was wrong but the men according to the state of Georgia were of legal age and could consent to any activities they chose to do with the Bishop Eddie Long ..therefore since no criminal charges why go to court, I didnt know u could sue for enticing , i need to take a few folks to court #justsayin
