Third Lawsuit Filed Against Bishop Eddie L. Long by Jamal Parris Accusing him of Sexual Abuse

Attorney B. J. Bernstein releases shocking cell phone pictures Bishop Eddie L. Long allegedly sent to victim(s) shortly after Jamal Parris files lawsuit.

A third lawsuit has been filed against Bishop Eddie L. Long and the Newbirth Missionary Baptist Church. Jamal Parris, the plaintiff, is also being represented by Attorney B. J. Bernstein. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in DeKalb County Court, according to WSB-TV.

This is devastating to the members of Newbirth and the city of Atlanta. This is akin to the Tiger Woods scandal. The complaints lodged by Paris are similar to those of the other two men, Anthony Flagg and Maurice Robinson. I pray that the truth is revealed sooner rather than later. If Bishop Long is guilty of these accusations, then his standing in the city of Atlanta and beyond will be sullied for a very long, long time. This is a disgrace.

As I wrote in the first article, I said if these allegations are untrue, then Bishop Long needs to get before the cameras and fight for his reputation. If the allegations are true, then he needs to step aside and let justice run its course. I can't imagine if such gut-wrenching false accusations are made about me, being able to just let my attorney speak for me. His congregants deserve to hear from him on this mess. This is so reminiscent of the Tiger Woods and Ted Haggard scandals. Somewhere in the middle of this mess is the truth. Bishop Long is expected to hold a press conference on Thursday.

Eddie L. Long was scheduled to appear on Kiss 104.1 for an interview this morning. That has been canceled. Not sure if the press conference will go on as planned. All press conferences have been canceled. Why is a grown man sending racy pictures of himself to young men? If those pictures came from his cell phone, he should be ashamed of himself.
