If a person does not like Bishop Long he would still consider him guilty even if found not guilty in court and some who really like him would justify him and blame the accusers even if he admitted guilt.
The thing here is this --we don't really know what (if anything) went on with those young men. If the Bishop claims innocence, we have to accept that and respect him for his experience, calling, and walk with God.
