According to online reports, Bishop Eddie Long settled out of court with his 4 male accusers, who were teenagers of legal age when he plied them with cash and gifts in exchange for sex. Maurice Robinson, 21, Anthony Flagg, 22, Jamal Parris and another man, claimed the Bishop “coerced” and “enticed” them with exotic trips, clothing and cars. In one case, he even paid the young man’s college tuition.
Long vigorously denied the allegations when the news broke last September. Throughout the ordeal the Bishop’s long suffering wife and their four grown children stood beside him. Their support never wavered.
There are unconfirmed rumors that Long paid each man $1.5 million and an apology behind closed doors. But according to media personality Star Jones, who was in Atlanta yesterday, the terms of the settlement have not been made public.

Anytime they talk on the phone concerning your case you pay for it, you pay for every copy made, every letter sent, hotel rooms, conference rooms, meals, travel…you get the point. I never thought for a second he would take this to trial.

@Natasha, I agree and I think he settled for many reasons…1) the embarrassment and shame that he has already rendered his family and church. 2) He didn’t want anymore details to be exposed. 3) The trial would be long and expensive.

“They were in love with him and thought he was in love with them. ”
They were in love with a married man with four children? So they thought it was ok to fall in love with a married man as and accept these lavish gifts, trips, money, etc.?

That’s how old they are now. They were 16 (the age of consent) when his slick azz pounced on them after years of grooming. The main thing that set this whole thing in motion, if I recall correctly, was when his 18 or 19 year old lover (name not mentioned above) found out that Eddie was cheating on him with yet another boy AND the recent dumping of one of the boys that had lost his child-like essence and was no longer appealing to the good Reverend which lead to a misguided robbery of the church. All of them were hurt when they were dumped. They were in love with him and thought he was in love with them. They didn’t realize he was a pedo ho until the suit began by 1 boy. The young one. The three above joined later.
I’m not saying the lavish gifts were not a factor, but I get the impression there were genuine feelings on the part of the boys.

I’m not so sure. I really believe that outside of the sexual abuse these boys were mentored properly. Of course they have expensive taste because they were mentored in that as well, but these boys are not a bunch of dummies. The ones we’ve seen interviewed are very well spoken and we know he paid college tuition for at least one. Further, for all we know the terms of the settlement may call for the good reverend to pay all the legal fees. Seperately.
