Preachers With iPhones: Gay foe, Eddie Long, exposed with third lawsuit and bathroom photos [video]
39. Defendant Long would encourage Jamal Parris to call him “Daddy.”
40. Initially, Defendant Long engaged in sexual touching during their encounters and then escalated the activity to oral sodomy and other acts of sexual gratification.
41. Defendant Long would discuss the Holy Scripture to justify and support the sexual activity.
46. On these trips and in private meetings at the Bishop’s private office located inside New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and Snapfinger Road Guest House, Bishop Eddie Long engaged in oral sodomy, seuxal massages, requested Plaintiff Parris to be nude in his presence, and engaged in other sexual activity with Plaintiff Parris.
A third lawsuit filed against Eddie Long, a celebrated Baptist televangelist who preached at times that God wants homosexuals dead, and that gay people cannot be born gay. His church also hosted ex-gay type “classes.”
Jamal Parris joins two other young men’s complaints, each saying they began an affiliation with Long when each was just 14 years old. But that he coerced each of them into a sexual relationship with gifts, trips, and money. So far, members of the preacher’s church seem to be denying that he would engage in such an activity, especially since he is against homosexuality, but Long has not come forward himself to address the charges. No criminal accusation has been raised against the extremely rich prosperity preacher, however, because the men (teens at the time) were over the age of consent in Georgia. (Examiner)
Two pictures emerged today which Long allegedly distributed to a fourth unnamed man — both are of him posing in a bathroom mirror while taking the photo himself. (They remind many of the men who pose in a similar manner on the mostly gay-oriented site, GuysWithIPhones.com.) In one, he poses in a tight muscle shirt; in another he poses in black spandex.
