The Bishop Eddie Long sexual misconduct case may be heading to trial after all.

WSB-TV reports that the parties involved in the lawsuit are no longer close to settling the case out of court. The judge presiding over the high-profile case is now saying that he is preparing for a trial in the fall.

Long has denied the claims.
