Long canceled an interview with the Tom Joyner Morning Demonstrate Thursday, opting instead to make his first public response to the sex allegations during a service at his Atlanta-area church on Sunday, according to his lawyer, who appeared on the nationally syndicated radio show in Long's absence.
Attorney Craig Gillen told Joyner that Long took little men on trips as part of a mentoring program, but stands by his denial of claims that he had sex with three of them.
