A fourth young man has filed a lawsuit against Eddie Long, accusing the pastor of an Atlanta-area megachurch of coercing him into a sexual relationship when he was a teenager, the Associated Press reports. Three other men filed similar suits earlier this week.

The 22-year-old man is a member of a satellite church in North Carolina that he and his mother helped Long found. AP and other news organizations are identifying the man, but USA TODAY does not identify victims of sexual assault or alleged victims.

Long has denied the allegations.

He spoke about the allegations today in a conference call with parishioners. CBS affiliate WGCL in Atlanta was invited to listen in.

"We will arise through this situation, and go forward, and we are moving forward," Long said, according to the station."I have never dealt with anything like this before. I have been under attack before, but everything else has been different levels and different challenges."

He plans to address the allegations Sunday at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
