Even the plaintiffs’ lawyer claims the pictures in question are innocent. The content is unknown, but it is known Long emailed the plaintiffs.
The litigation gets a 4th
There were initially two men suing Long. According to CNN, you will find now four. All allege the exact same thing. Long is supposed to have used his position of power to coerce the men into sex. All four young men come from severely disadvantaged programs, and also allege Long used his position as a benefactor also as a high-profile clergyman. Long maintains his innocence. He has fervently denied all allegations. The lawsuit is especially puzzling, as Bishop Long has a history of preaching a staunch anti-homosexual message. He has waxed stentorian about the issue before. He even led a march for a ban on very same sex marriages.
It will wait until his day in the court
