The first hearing in the case was held in Atlanta Friday and although Long DENIED ever having sex with any of the four men who have made allegations against him, both sides have expressed their desire to resolve the case without going to trial.
During a status conference held Friday, lawyers for both sides gave a road map of what’s going to happen throughout the case, when it’s going to happen and why it’s going to happen.
Bishop Long has filed an answer to all four lawsuits, claiming in bold letters on the first page the claims of sexual misconduct are not true.
During the status conference, both sides said they want to try to avoid trial, and have a mediator resolve the explosive allegations. Judge Johnny Panos set a February date for mediation. If the case is not settled in mediation, expect the first of possibly four separate trials in July or August.
What do you think will happen?
