Since it's a civil suit and not a criminal case, it's not a matter of guilt or innocence. Rather, it's a matter of whether or not he committed the actions and whether those actions rise to the level of a tort (wrong) that should be compensated by money damages.
And yes, if he did the acts, he should be exposed, but...going to law can cause all sorts of personal havoc. Just my personal opinion.

If the plaintiffs followed with this civil case after the Bishop had lost a criminal case, the outlook would change.
From the report, the crimiinal history of the plaintiffs may impeach their testimony.

When asked about a possible motive for the accusations, Gillen referred to a break-in at Long's office in June.
Bernstein said one of the plaintiffs is facing a criminal burglary charge in the incident. She said the break-in was a way of lashing out at Long.

One of the plaintiffs has been charged with burglery of Bishop Long's office?
Why would there have been no charges for years and now this?

In all fairness to this young man I believe he broke in simply to look for those super cool spandex outfits Pastor Long was wearing when he sent this guy pics.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Charismatic Bishop In Lawsuit.
I like to take a wait and see approach to things even if it appears a certain way. Duke case is a prime example.
