pastorAtlanta, Sep 25, (THAINDIAN NEWS) If the three were not enough, here joins another. A fourth man named Spencer Legrande on Friday filed a new lawsuit against Atlanta-area pastor Eddie Long in which he had reportedly alleged that the pastor had coerced him into a sexual relationship during a visit to Kenya back in 2005. The allegation comes just days after three other men alleged that the pastor had lured them into sexual relationship. The lawsuit has been filed at the DeKalb County, Georgia, State Court.

In the lawsuit filed by 22-year-old Spencer Legrande, it has been mentioned that he was coerced into the sexual relationship by Eddie Long who at one point said to him “I will be your dad”. He was invited for the Africa trip by Eddie Long. In the lawsuit, Spencer Legrande mentions that in the very first night of the trip, when they had put up in Nairobi, Eddie Long had asked Spencer Legrande to come to his room and after the latter had said that he is finding it difficult to go to sleep, the former had offered him Ambien, a sleep aid drug. The lawsuit mentions that both had taken the drug.

Spencer Legrande has further added that Eddie Long did not stop at providing him with Ambien, but proceeded to hug him and kiss him on his lips. Eddie Long allegedly licked the youth’s lips and rubbed his chest. Spencer Legrande not only shared the bed with Eddie Long for that evening but also for the rest of the Kenya trip. The lawsuit states that the duo also went on shopping sprees. On the part of pastor Eddie Long, his spokesman denied all the allegations that have surfaced against him.
