The Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) reports that Bishop Eddie Long, the Atlanta pastor who settled a sexual coercion case out of court, says he wants his money back.   Attorneys representing Long from Drew Eckl & Farnham wrote a letter to three of the five men involved in the case -- Jamal Parris, Spencer LeGrande and Centino Kemp -- asking for $900,000 of the total pay out alleging the young men violated terms of a confidentiality agreement with Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.  Two of the accusers, Parris, 24 and LeGrande, 23 expressed their feelings about Long on a Florida news station and were interviewed by the AJC in August. Parris said he plans to release a book. 

Kemp emerged as the fifth accuser later.  In late May, Kemp wrote on his Facebook page, "I may be bad but I got paid perfectly good for it." He has co-authored a book with T. Benson Glover entitled "The First Lady." 

The terms of the initial confidentiality agreement prohibited the disclosure of the amount of the settlement, but the AJC has estimated that at least $1.5 million was split  5 ways.  More. . .
