Despite a flurry of news reports, the suits alleging that Georgia megachurch pastor Eddie Long coerced young men into sexual relationships are in the earliest stages of litigation. But some clues about how the cases may fare can be found in the matter of another megachurch pastor who was accused by a former congregant of sexual coercion. An opinion issued last year in that case -- which relied in part on a case about a lawyer who had an affair with his client -- shows how Georgia courts view such claims.

Despite the flurry of news reports about them, the suits alleging that DeKalb County, Ga., megachurch pastor Eddie Long coerced young men into sexual relationships are in the earliest stages of litigation.
But some clues about how the cases may fare in the legal system can be found in the matter of the late Earl Paulk, who led a different DeKalb megachurch and also was accused in DeKalb County State Court by a former congregant of sexual coercion.
