Bishop Eddie Long: There were hugs, we shared rooms....but we did not have sexual relations

[marmar]

:think: He probably even had them carry his luggage.



from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:



Bishop Eddie Long filed four lengthy responses in DeKalb County State Court on Monday, denying all allegations that he coerced young men into sexual relationships.

In the filings obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Long asked for the four lawsuits to be dismissed and judgment to be entered in his favor.

In September, four young men -- Maurice Robinson, Anthony Flagg, Jamal Parris and Spencer LeGrande -- filed suits against Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. The young men claimed Long coerced them into having sex with him in exchange for lavish gifts, trips and jobs. In the filings, Long said it has been a practice of his to occasionally share a room with members of his congregation. However, he said "the plaintiff's claims of sexual misconduct are not true."

The plaintiffs allege the sexual relations occurred when they were 16 or older. The legal age of consent is 16 in Georgia. ............(more)
