Well, I thought Bishop Eddie Long was going to fight Goliath in court! At least that’s what I heard him say to a church full of people at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church *shrugs*.

Well I wonder what changed his mind. I’m not saying he’s guilty, but I am saying he’s NOT innocent…

ATLANTA—

Atlanta-based megachurch leader Bishop Eddie Long and four men who accused him of sexual misconduct have settled out of court, spokesmen for both sides said Thursday.

The men had alleged that the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church coerced them into sexual relations with gifts including cars, cash and travel when they were 17. One suit also claimed Long had sexual contact with one of them during trips he took them on in the U.S. and abroad. Long denied the allegations, and federal and state authorities didn’t investigate because Georgia’s age of consent is 16. {Bishop Long Settles Lawsuit via Los Angeles Times}
