Bishop Eddie Long accused of Sexual Coercion by 2 men
According to CNN.com, two Georgia men have filed a sexual coercion lawsuit against Bishop Eddie Long, Pastor of the mega New Birth Missionary Baptist Church
Whew I know there are some upset members of Pastor Long's church that are just waiting to see these two men out in the streets. I almost broke my dang neck when I heard his name on CNN along with sexual coercion. For my readers that don't know coercion is the practice of forcing another party to behave in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats, intimidation, trickery, or some other form of pressure or force. So when you put sexual in front of coercion it means to force a person to do sexual favors by using force or threats. Here are the deets:
According to the lawsuit:
“Defendant Long has a pattern and practice of singling out a select group of young male church members and using his authority as Bishop over them to ultimately bring them to a point of engaging in a sexual relationship.”
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 19th 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.
I just can't with this situation. I have a real bad hatred for men living on the down low. Pastor Long is married and seemingly happy with his wife. If this were to be true.. Lawd have mercy. I 'll keep you all posted
