Large church pastor TD Jakes denied allegations of S£xual assault decades ago on two pastor brothers.
Jakes, 67, was accused last year of Duane Youngblood, 58, 40 years ago, until his alleged victim’s brother Richard Eyre Richard Edwin Youngblood Sr., 62, filed his own charges earlier this month.
According to Richard’s documents, the giant pastor preyed on him while sharing a hotel room during a Foreign Ministry event a few years ago, accusing him of behaving similar to his brother’s original documents.

He wrote in the affidavit: “(Jacks) fixed a room with two beds inside and we went to the room for the night. That night, when I was lying in the bed, I felt Elder Jacks crawling in. My bed.
“He pressed his body against me and asked, ‘Youngblood, do you think?’ He was referring to an erection and said he was on my back against my back.
“I got up in total shock, too [got] Meet me from the other side. He grabbed me with my arms, pulled me onto him, and began trying to kiss me. At this point, I can’t believe what’s going on. ”
Jakes publicly charged and publicly filed a defamation lawsuit against the brothers for a motion seeking to dismiss the defamation lawsuit.
He called the lawsuit a “Lie Movement” and said the brothers tried to blackmail $6 million from him, insisting that he never “doubted about the physical desires of these people.”
Richard Youngblood’s lawsuit details his alleged experience in the hotel in support of his brother Duane’s original charges, while several other men also swore affidavits to support Duane’s claim.
Duane Youngblood first stepped forward in October 2024 in an interview with Larry Reid, claiming that Jakes attacked him when he was 18 or 19 .

He claimed the attack happened about two hours after he spoke with Jakes at the home of an elderly priest, when Jakes then tried to kiss him.
The next morning, Youngblood claimed that Jakes called his home and while “sitting in the bathtub,” he hints that he wanted to build a relationship.
“He said to me, without hesitation, ‘I need you three things. The first is that when I come to Pittsburgh, you will be the only one I have with’ Reed.
“The second is that you can’t sleep with other people because I don’t want to give my wife anything. Third, I will take care of you all my life.”
A few days later, Jakes said that Janbrod’s attorney sent him a letter asking for $6 million to “quick and private settlement of the issue” or he would file a lawsuit against Jakes in a statement. ) to implement S£xual attacks and harassment.
Jakes responded to Duane’s lawsuit, saying “not only is it ridiculous, but it’s a bald lie.”
Jacks wrote: “To be clear: While I occasionally travelled to Pennsylvania around 1986 to preach at an area church part of the Greater Emanuel International Scholarship Network, I never tried to turn around the corner, grab or kiss Any teenager.”
“I never called Duane Youngblood in exchange for S£X in exchange for financial support. I never modified, S£Xally abused, S£XALY attacked, and engaged in predatory behavior to £Xual As to Duane Youngblood . Apologize for Youngblood because it didn’t happen.”
Duane claimed in a motion against Jakes’ defamation lawsuit that he has been “threatened by individuals connected to the plaintiff, including his son” since he stepped up last year.
Jacks keenly denied the allegations against him after the brothers’ lawsuit in recent months and issued an eight-page affidavit in response to the motion to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against them.
“I have reviewed the affidavits of Duane Youngblood and Richard Youngblood in support of the motion to dismiss the motion. The statements in these affidavits are intended to describe my views on these people. the situation of physical desire..
“I was shocked by these defamatory allegations and the $6 million ransomware I received from Duane Youngblood’s attorney Tyrone Blackburn.
“For years, I have been advised to ignore the constant low-grade smears against my reputation.
“But the emotional and physical loss of this coordinated lie movement designed to damage my reputation and legacy has become overwhelming.
“It has caused pain to my 43-year-old wife, and I have always loved, raised and provided the five kids so many. Everyone has a breakthrough point. I’ve reached mine. I’ve authorized this point . The lawsuit is because I can no longer remain silent.”
Jacks also said Richard made his request because he tried to avenge Jakes and refused to give him a job.
“He has not yet worked, he has multiple children with different women and has been convicted of failing to pay child support. It’s hard to respect a man who doesn’t care for his children,” Jacks said in his affidavit.
“I have never filed a lawsuit against anyone in my years. We filed lawsuits against people who should be God but obviously not against individuals.”
