The Lithonia-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church said in Monday's filings that it "understands that Bishop Long often shared hotel rooms with members of the congregation" while traveling. But it neither admitted nor denied a series of specific allegations by the four who say Long used his spiritual authority to coerce them into sex.

The church did, however, say in a blanket statement that it "does not believe Bishop Long or any of its agents or employees engaged in the conduct alleged by the plaintiff." And it denied allegations that the church knew of Long's "sexually inappropriate conduct" and did nothing to warn or protect the plaintiffs....

The men say Long abused his spiritual authority to lure them into trysts with cars, jewelry and cash when they were 17 and 18. Local and state authorities are not investigating because Georgia's age of consent is 16....

Two of the young men say he targeted them after they enrolled in the church's LongFellows Youth Academy, a program that taught teens about sexual, physical and financial discipline. The other two — one of whom attended a satellite church in Charlotte, N.C. — have made similar claims.
