“We were in court last week, discovery is happening right now. We’re setting up deposition dates, so the litigation is proceeding along,” said BJ Bernstein.
Bernstein is the lawyer representing four young men, who filed lawsuits against Bishop Eddie Long, and told Channel 2 Action News the lawsuits are moving forward, and she will soon begin taking depositions.
“We’re talking about getting forward and going through with the case and planning for deadlines set by the judge” Bernstein added.
Bernstein would not comment on any other pending lawsuits, or additional victims.
Anthony Flagg, Jamal Parris, Maurice Robinson and Spencer LeGrande filed civil suits against Long, accusing him of using his spiritual authority to coerce the young men into sexual relationships.
Long has since denied the claims in court documents, but admitted serving as a mentor to the men.

@Malika,
No way will they allow Reverend Longstroke to be questioned by an Attorney…he will settle for sure, Sad part is that those boys shouldn’t settle.

The only reason this case wasn’t settled is because Long had a cap on how much he wanted to pay. BJ Bernstein is no joke…she told Oprah no and she said no to the offer….GO BJ!

In other words, the accusers wouldn’t take the money and run. They wanted Long to pay and admit to his crimes. Long wouldn’t go for it, so they’re going to court.

the amount he wanted to pay was probably next to nothing. Trial will help bring the truth out.
