Snake in the Pulpit Georgia Bishop Settles Sexual Abuse Case in Georgia
Many cases of sexual abuse are registered every single year. The state of Georgia saw a sexual abuse case in which a pastor, of the mega church New Birth, was brought to book by the four men whom he allegedly sexually abused.
The Georgia sexual abuse case made headlines because the person accused is a famous church pastor who has a large parish following. Bishop Eddie Long is the man in question. He is accused of having groomed four boys with the aim of having sexual relations with them in the future. The four boys, now men, hired a sexual abuse lawyer and took Long to court after a few years and the case has ended before it reached trial.
It is alleged that the four boys were a part of the youth group who received special attention from Bishop Eddie Long for an extensive period of time. He was grooming them in order to begin sexual relations with them. As soon as they turned 16 years old, the sexual encounters with them began. Long waited till they turned 16 as that is the legal age of consent in the state of Georgia.
Talk show host and author Rueben Armstrong spoke about Bishop Long as someone who was a perpetrator of child sexual abuse long before the claims came to light. He wrote about him in his book Snakes in the Pulpit. Clergy sexual abuse is a heinous crime that has only increased in the last few years. Armstrong predicted that Long would manage to settle the case out of court and his predictions have come true. Bishop Long and his attorney have managed to assuage the four boys and their sexual abuse attorney in an out of court settlement. The exact amount that he paid to them is undisclosed.
