Embattled pastor Bishop Eddie Long has filed four detailed responses in Dekalb County State Court where he denies all allegations that he coerced four young men into sexual relationships.

Long admitted that he has occasionally shared a room with members of his congregation and also admitted to giving the plaintiffs gifts, including cars and money, but stated that it was not in exchange for sex. He said he "provided sporadic financial assistance," and he routinely pays for rent and other expenses for New Birth members in need. He added that "the plaintiff's claims of sexual misconduct are not true."
