Oct. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- One of four men accusing megachurch Bishop Eddie Long of coercing them into inappropriate sexual relationships said recently in a TV interview  Wednesday that he and the pastor would have encounters before and after worship services on church grounds.

Parris said he "loved the pastor and considered him a father figure", but referredto  him as a "predator"  The other accusers  say they were teenagers when Long molested them.
"You can't believe the place you are at in your life and the things you are doing and the cars you are driving, and the people you are meeting," Parris said. "So, it becomes, if I want to continue to feel this love and this power, I'll do whatever my dad wants me to."

, Long's attorney, Craig Gillen said, " ... plaintiffs and counsel are attempting to try their lawsuits in the media. ... There are rules on how civil litigation is to take place and how counsel should conduct themselves...follow those rules."

Parris said he tried  to deal with the situation outside of court asking the Bishop to
"'Help me with this hurt that you caused... if you are not going to deal with us privately, then you are going to have to talk publicly, one way or the other. But you wont get to hurt another young man another day in our lives."

At this point Long has not denied any allegations saying "I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet."
