Bishop Long is being sued for some embarrassing reasons, and some Bishop Long pictures have just been released, allegedly from the really people who are suing him. Long is the head pastor of the 24,000 member New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. The Bishop Eddie Long scandal began recently. It entails some young men that pastor long was a mentor to. Bishop Eddie Long has preached a fervently anti-gay message for years, which makes the charges against him of inappropriate sex acts with young men that much more odd.
Bishop Eddie Long pictures come to light
A litigation was filed over a week ago against Eddie Long. The photos soon came out, as outlined by CBS. The photos were allegedly from the very individuals suing him. Some of these photos show Long in tight fitting workout clothes. Even the plaintiffs’ lawyer claims the pictures in question are innocent. The content is unknown, however it is known Long emailed the plaintiffs.
The legal action gets a fourth
A fourth person has joined the lawsuit against Bishop Long, as outlined by CNN. The lawsuit alleges Long used his position in the church to elicit sex favors. Long’s church also runs a mentoring program, and all four men were under his mentorship. Long and his attorney have strenuously denied all allegations. The lawsuit is especially puzzling, as Bishop Long has a history of preaching a staunch anti-homosexual message. Long has also called for a nationwide ban on same sex marriages.
He will get his day in court
The case is going to go before a judge. You will find over 24,000 members of Long’s mega-church. He packs in the crowds. His sermons draw over 10,000 each and every Sunday.
