“font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; font-family:”>According to Fox 5 Atlanta, after the initial lawsuits were filed, Centino Kemp came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long by four other young men. Their sources say he became involved in the settlement talks. Though his name was never made public, he may have played a significant role in the mediation. One source says Centino Kemp, who was raised in the Bahamas, met Bishop Eddie Long years ago during a visit to New Birth while he was a teenage student in a Florida college. The relationship meant enough for him to tattoo Eddie Long’s name on his wrist, followed by the words, “Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson.” Sources say Kemp, 22, joined in the settlement talks after he heard about the other young men’s lawsuits and though he never sued, he became a part of the final settlement. One lawyer familiar with the case confirmed Kemp was involved and was “different from the other young men,” “one piece of the puzzle that never fit,” and he made the case “more difficult.” Bishop Eddie Long had no comment about Centino Kemp. And Centino Kemp had nothing to say about the bishop. After walking away from Fox News Atlanta cameras, he later sprinted to an awaiting stretch limousine.
