Atlanta Escorts: Bishop Eddie Long launches fightback against sex claims
Posted on September 26th, 2010 in Atlanta escorts
Dressed in a Star Trek-style high-necked cream suit with his wife alongside him, Long said nothing about the actual allegations but talked in general terms about facing up to challenges: “The righteous face painful situations with a determined expectancy.”
In a speech broadcast live on US television, he made clear he would battle the accusations, telling the crowd: “This thing I’m going to fight.”
To further applause, he said: “I want you to know one other thing. I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven’t thrown one yet.”
The lurid accusations against Long have sent shockwaves through the devout southern community of Christians and have drawn comparisons with Ted Haggard, the charismatic leader of a prominent evangelical church in Colorado who was obliged to quit in 2006 when a male prostitute came forward, claiming to have had amphetamine-fuelled sex sessions with him.
