In his legal response to the motion, he formally denied allegations that he sexually assaulted former Pastor Duane Youngblood.
The claims were called an organized “false campaign” in a failed attempt to force him to $6 million, and a 562-page response was filed Friday in US District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. was judged by a Christian post.
Jakes and his three famous lawyers – Devin J. Chuwastik of McNeighborhood & Nulic LLC of Pennsylvania. Pushing for Dustin Washington DC’s Meier Watkins Phillips Pusch LLP. And Derrelle M Janey of Janey Law Firm PC in New York City actively challenges the credibility of his accusers who tried to dismiss an honorific loss lawsuit in accordance with Pennsylvania’s anti-slap law last month.
The filing includes an eight-page affidavit from Jakes. Jakes declares under perjury penalties that allegations made by the Youngblood brothers and multiple Johns against him are malicious lies.
“I have reviewed the affidavits of Duane Youngblood and Richard Youngblood, filed to support the motion for rejection. The statements of these affidavits are the circumstances in which these men have the physical desires. The purpose is to explain: Founding the Potter home of 80,000 members in Dallas, Texas, states in an affidavit.
“I am rebelled against these honour-loss accusations and the $6 million horror letter I received from Tyrone Blackburn, Duane Youngblood’s lawyer.”
In a 167-page motion to dismiss Jakes’ lawsuit, Richard Youngblood, as did his younger brother’s experience, tried to sexually assault him years ago, but he was accompanied by the bishop during a ministry trip. They claim they tried to share hotel rooms.
“He secured a room with two beds and we went to the room at night. That night, while I was lying on the bed, I felt the elder jakes climb onto my bed. “Youngblood, do you feel that?” he was pushing against my backside and referring to his erection,” Richard Youngblood wrote in his affidavit.
“I got up from the bed in complete shock as he stood up from the other side and met me. He grabbed me with my arm and pulled me to him, trying to kiss me. At this point, What’s going on with me that I can’t believe?”
The other people who wrote the affidavits in support of Duane Youngblood’s claims are Jeffrey’s Gray. Daniel B. Spalding; Lashawn Youngblood; Joshu Amunhos; Landon Clayborn.
In addition to his previous claims, Duane Youngblood also claims that since he published, Jakes and his associates have allegedly “engaged in retaliation to silence him.” It’s doing it.
According to the motion, Duane Youngblood reported “is under threat from individuals associated with the plaintiffs, including his son.”
Jakes claims he is making unprecedented moves to protect himself legally, as he is tired of turning his “lies” and other cheeks transmitted by critics.
“For years I have been counselled to ignore the constant flow of low-level smears on my reputation, but this collaborative trait designed to undermine my reputation and legacy. The emotional and physical sacrifices of the campaign for lies have been overwhelming.”
“The pain that caused my 43-year-old wife and my five children is just too much for my five children I’ve always loved, raised and provided to. All. There is a breakpoint for people who are in the process of lawsuits because I can no longer remain silent,” he adds.
Jakes, 68, filed a defamous loss lawsuit against 58-year-old Duane Youngblood the day after suffering a “slight health incident” last November.
Duane Youngblood claimed that in an interview with internet personality Larry Reed on October 28th and November 3rd, 2024 at the “Rally Lead Drive” show, Jakes claimed he attacked him when he was 18 or 19 years old. did.
Young Youngblood told Reed that he had been talking to Jakes for about two hours at the elderly clergy home where he was staying in the revival of the local church about 40 years ago when Jakes tried to kiss him.
The morning after the encounter, Youngblood, a registered sex offender who served time to abuse minors while serving as pastor, says Jakes calls his home and he is a local sex He claims he wants to be a partner.
“My mother answers the call and she tells me, ‘Duane, that’s elder Jakes.’ Jakes and I get on the phone and he’s sitting in the bathtub. . And thirdly, I will take care of you for the rest of you” Life was argued by Youngblood in an interview with Reed.
A few days after publishing these claims, Jakes’ attorneys said that the lawyer representing Youngblood sent him a letter of demand on November 24, 2024. Otherwise, Youngblood would file a lawsuit against Bishop Jakes for sexual assault and harassment. ”
Jakes claimed in his February 14 affidavit that Duane Youngblood offered to pay him for an exclusive sexual favor, and he was financially entitled to himself and his family. They insist that they cannot afford to support them. Jakes argues that there is no point in offering to financially support the young man in exchange for sexual favors.
“This claim is not just a slip-dic. It’s an ald-false lie. To make it clear: I travelled to Pennsylvania around 1986 and preached in a local church that is part of Greater Emmanuel’s International Fellowship Network. But they never tried a corner. Grab or kiss a teenager,” Jakes insists.
“I have never called Duane Youngblood to order him for sex in exchange for financial support, and I have been to the predatory act of sexual nature against Duane Youngblood. I have been groomed, sexually abused, never sexually assaulted, because that didn’t happen.”
Jakes claims that Richard Youngblood is simply trying to get revenge as he refuses to give him a job he doesn’t qualify for.
“He couldn’t maintain his job. He has multiple children with different women and is convicted of a felony of failing to pay child support. A man who doesn’t care for his children. It’s difficult to respect. In 2019, I have never filed a lawsuit against anyone.
“The catalyst for this behavior was not merely the nature of the accusation, but a relentless attack by an avid blogger. I have faced many attacks in my life, but there is no such thing as “Jakes.” , pointing out that you are pointing your finger in an internet personality.
“They work at concerts and target them with unrelenting and unfounded attacks on me and my family. I have been working on their vicious attacks, lies, wife rumors, my church over the past year. I endured rumours that abandoned me.. All of this was to help my wife recover from knee replacement surgery and my brother help me navigate kidney failure. I’d noticed it,” he continues.
“This unjust stress brought me to a place where I have a health crisis on the stage in front of my entire congregation!”
