The best article I've seen so far on Bishop Long

 Bishop Eddie Long Accused of Sexual Misconduct goes into more detail regarding how Long allegedly preyed on the young men, gained their confidence, and persuaded them to engage in sexual conduct with him. Funnily (or not) enough, it is virtually identical to the process used by pimps to entice young girls into prostitution, except that these young men got a far more expensive persuasion program (international travel, fancy hotels, fine dining, etc.) compared to their counterparts.
