A fourth young man alleges he had sexual relations with Bishop Eddie Long when he was a teenager.Spencer LeGrande, named in a civil lawsuit filed Friday, claims he was 17 the first time the two had a sexual relationship while vacationing in Nairobi, Kenya.
LeGrande, of Charlotte, N.C., alleges that the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church pastor gave him an Ambien, a popular prescription sleep aid, followed by a “prolonged hug,” kissing and rubbing, according to the suit.
The suit claims the two shared a bed for the remainder of their trip.

The defense team will review the complaints and respond accordingly at the appropriate time and in the appropriate forum.” Read more here
