Eddie Long a powerful and influential Bishop of the Atlanta area gained a reputation as a spiritual leader after turning his 150 member congregation into a following of 25,000 people.
However, he has been in the media lately for several allegations that has been made against him. Several young men accused Long of sexually harass them. The allegations by the men were not investigated criminally because Georgia age of consent is 16, and at the time young men were 17 and 18.
The lawsuit was dismissed, and it is said that Eddie Long used his power to influence the guys into having sexually acts with me him.
I have been following this case for some time now, and I am in shock about Vanessa (Eddie long wife) filing for a divorce. I learned the news of the divorce via twitter this morning as I updated my timeline and AJC shared the disappointing news. I wonder why Vanessa waited so long to file for a divorce. This has been an ongoing case for some time now and she just deciding that’s she has had enough. In a statement, Vanessa Long said that she has decided to terminate her marriage after a great deliberation and prayer. One talk with the Lord, and she has been guided to leave the Bishop and move on with her life.
In closing Vanessa Long stated, "I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter," she added. "I also ask that the public pray for my entire family during this difficult period of transition."
