Watch: Bishop Eddie Long’s News Conference — Short On Everything
Bishop Eddie Long, accused of having sex with teenage boys, spoke publicly for the first time today, after four men filed in civil court against the pastor. He said almost nothing, other than promising to fight, the accusers in court.
Claiming he lured them into sexual relationship through cars, money, and in one case pills, the men’s stories sound remarkably similar.
Watch as Bishop Long speaks for under two minutes, saying little, including any specific denials.
