Earlier this week, Atlanta, Georgia’s Bishop Eddie Long was accused of sexual abuse by two men of his mega-church congregation. According to the lawsuit, two men (Maurice Robinson, 20 and Anthony Flagg, 21) claim that while they were teenagers, Long conducted private spiritual ceremonies and coerced them into sexual acts:
“The pastor took one plaintiff, Anthony Flagg, 21, on overnight trips to a half-dozen American cities in recent years, Flagg’s suit alleges. “Long shared a bedroom and engaged in intimate sexual contact with plaintiff Flagg including kissing, massaging, masturbating of plaintiff Flagg by defendant Long and oral sexual contact,” the suit says.
Long took the other plaintiff, Maurice Murray Robinson, 20, to Auckland, New Zealand, in October 2008 for his 18th birthday and engaged in oral sex with him, Robinson’s suit alleges. “Following the New Zealand Trip, Defendant Long regularly engaged in sexual touching, and other sexual acts with Plaintiff Robinson,” Robinson’s suit alleges.” [ SOURCE ]
The lawyer for Robinson and Flagg, B.J. Bernstein, also claims that she has the photos, texts and e-mails to prove the relationship between her clients and the bishop. Bishop Eddie Long, who is also known for being an advocate against same-sex marriage, adamantly denies the allegations.
