A shocking new claim has emerged against Bishop TD Jakes, accusing him of attempting to assault a teenage boy. Dwayne Youngblood, now an adult, recently shared his story of what he says happened when he was 18 or 19 years old, claiming that the famous pastor made an inappropriate advance toward him.
According to Youngblood, the situation began when he was invited to take Bishop Jakes out for dinner while the pastor was in town. At the time, Youngblood admired Jakes deeply and saw him as a spiritual mentor. He drove his mother’s car to pick up Jakes and brought him to dinner, where the two talked for hours. However, things reportedly took an unexpected and uncomfortable turn after the meal.
As Youngblood stood up to leave, he says Jakes stopped him and tried to kiss him. Youngblood was left stunned and confused by the situation but managed to walk away, feeling deeply unsettled. The next day, Jakes allegedly called Youngblood’s house while he was in the bathtub. According to Youngblood, Jakes made some troubling statements during the phone call, including telling him that he would be the only one Jakes would sleep with when he returned to town and promising to take care of him financially for life.
Despite the distressing nature of the conversation, Youngblood’s mother insisted that he go to church that evening, where the situation became even more embarrassing. During the service, Jakes allegedly called Youngblood up to read scripture in front of the congregation, further humiliating him.
This story has now gone viral, with many people shocked by the serious accusations against such a well-known religious figure. Some are questioning the credibility of Youngblood’s account, while others are calling for a full investigation. Many are now reflecting on the power dynamic between religious leaders and their followers, with some pointing out that such behavior should never be tolerated, no matter how high the individual’s status.
As the story develops, the public waits for Bishop Jakes to respond to the allegations. The shocking claims have certainly left many wondering about the truth behind the accusations.
