Just two months after reaching a settlement with his four accusers, a fifth accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long case has been revealed.

FOX 5 team in Atlanta uncovered Centino Kemp, a 22-year-old musician who was not named in Long’s original lawsuit.

Kemp allegedly came forward with similar claims of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long after hearing about the other young men’s lawsuits. Although his name wasn’t on the lawsuit, he reportedly played a major role in the settlement.

Kemp said he met Long during a visit to his megachurch when he was a teenager — and despite keeping hush about the specific nature of his relationship with the pastor, he reportedly sports a tattoo on his wrist with Long’s name along with the words, “Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson.”
