Photo of Bishop Eddie Long - Preacher Involved In Sex Scandal With Teen Followers
After the latest content hit the Internet over the Bishop Eddie Long sex scandal, which displayed two of the young men involved in the civil suit, Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg, in an expletive laced tape while in high school, it seems that things have come to a pause.

Bishop Eddie Long, Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church located in suburban Atlanta (Lithonia, Georgia), allegedly coerced the four men accusers, who were teens at the time, into sex, as covered on www.HipHopRx.com.

Prior to the video footage, photos leaked of Bishop Eddie Long dressed in muscle-revealing workout attire which the plaintiffs claimed that Bishop Eddie Long sent to them. Website commenters claim that the photos allegedly come from his stolen iPad that one of the plaintiffs, Maurice Robinson was charged for. Maurice Robinson was captured on surveillance with an accomplice in June for breaking into Bishop Eddie Long’s office and stealing a number of items including jewelry and electronics. As for Anthony Flagg, he was accused of being apart of the break-in.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long, during his first public appearance since the accusations, stated that he’s going to fight this thing. The preacher left many questions after not really saying much but stated that he would indeed be back, giving a notion that he is not stepping down from the pulpit.

As people are demanding more answers and information, according to newspaper AJC, the D.A. office in DeKalb County on Tuesday state that currently there is no criminal investigation into the allegations.

Spokesperson Mekka Parish told the newspaper that there is no current investigations involving Pastor/Bishop Eddie Long, the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church or its employees or associates.

An Attorney representing the four plaintiffs who are Jamal Parris, 23; Maurice Robinson, 20; Anthony Flagg, 21 and Spencer Legrande, 22 stated that no new lawsuits would be filed on Tuesday also.

So what does this mean for Bishop Eddie Long and the progress of this civil suit and the accusations?

The information is that the gay community in Atlanta actively knows about the pastor and what he is really about. The truth will come out!!!!

That’s nice. But what has that got to do with whether or not Pastor Long did the things he’s accused of?

EVERY time a person is sexually assaulted, in court, their character is assaulted. They were whores, they deserved it… they are not a good person really, look what I found out! etc. Get real. That does not change whether or not they were victims! A person who has slept around’s no still =’s no, and you don’t forfeit your right to not want to be coerced cause you made a silly video in high school. Perhaps this was before the time they joined his church and began to try to get right??? Cheap defense. Doesn’t change a thing. If your innocent focus on that, not on what someone else did. Wake up church!!! Jesus and the rest of the world are watching. This is exactly why people don’t step forth.

I agree, this has nothing to do with their claims. It is just what it looks like, some highschool kids cutting up. But it just goes to
show we are in for a long haul. It is obviously that Eddie Long or those affiliated with him put these out. I saw the brief interview
of one of the victims and his comments and pain were real to me. But this will ultimately be about GOD!! Bishop Long says he
knows him, therefore he knows his wrath and that he will not be mocked. If he did do this, he should meditate on this.

Sounds like some bored kids doing a really bad imitation of Katt Williams but the real question is…does it change the fact regarding the allegations…I don’t think so. If this video is the crucial link used to determine guilt or innocence then somebody is using smoke screens as a defense rather than the truth…I would much rather have the TRUTH!!

There is no information of the age of the young men who are accusing Archbishop Long of wrong doing. I don’t like the work homophobic. He does not dislike anyone. He preaches the Word of God as he studies the scriptures. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Food for thought…….if the Eddie Long can manupliate and bamboozle almost 25,000 EDUCATED people (including celebrites, politicians, doctors, lawyers and indian chiefs) into thinking that he’s God on a regular basis, why are some folk finding it difficult to believe that he is capable of manupliating and taking advantage of 4 young boys???? …….

I’m just asking!

These are just some kids being silly in class in high school. This is the way all high school kids act, they are clowning around. They even seem kind of sweet…This video proves nothing. I mean, these are kids, they are so young, they havent even grown up yet, how much dirt does this private investigator think he’s going to get?

This is a day in the life of some typical teenagers in study hall or between classes. I graduated almost 20 years ago, and this could have been my class. What changes anything? These young men were most likely victims of the Bishop who used his power and authority to molest and deceive and I don’t care about the Georgia law saying consenting age is 16. Anyone who has teenagers know that teen boys ESPECIALLY are very impulsive and not at all mature or rational. They are not by nature capable of making adult decisions. Any good pediatrician will tell you the same;teen brains don’t catch up with the teen body for several years. So while they may LOOK like grown men, they are far from it. Long knew what he was doing, and it would not surprise me if he has done this too a younger boy somewhere along the way. He is like any other predator. If he is not caught the first few times attacking what he thinks is legal prey, he will move on to younger and more vulnerable victims.

You know what I dislike when I read this column? The fact that everyone keeps saying that Bishop Eddie Long is guilty. How do you know if he’s guilty of anything? Yes these are young boys and they have every right to state their claim, but a person should not be proven gulity unless given a fair trial. All of this talk about the Bishop manipulating all of these people is absurd! Regardless of what any person does in life, if they are doing it for the Lord, regardless of what wrong was done, no one can forget, or no one should forget about all the good that God has done in that ministry through the Bishop. The problem with today’s world is that everyone is quick to put those people in ministry on a pedal stool instead of seeing them as human beings as we are. Is it right if the accusations are true? Hell no, but instead of pointing the finger and accusing this person and that person of doing whatever was said was done, we need to as christians pray for all of them because regardless of what they did or did not do, they are still God’s people who may or may not have fell into a weak state of mind. WHoever is telling the truth it shall be known, but instead of judging our christian people we need to pray for them all because the truth will be revealed one way or another. The problem with christians today is that we bring our own people down worse than those people who are of the world. How are we supposed to be good examples to those people of the world when we can’t even forgive those people and pray for those people who are part of us, who are a part of the body of christ? Let’s pray for revelation and truth but at the same time let’s pray that God will help and fix the situation because like David was in the Bible, so is the Bishop, because David was a man after God’s own heart and yet he sinned. I will not believe anything against the Bishop until I know the real truth to the entire story and I will not put my mouth against him or his congregation because it says in the Bible to touch not God’s annointed and do them no harm and regardless of what Bishop belongs to God, back slidden or not, he belongs to God.
