TD Jakes has dropped the suit...
From The Christian Post
After nearly a year of dueling filings and a failed effort to recover more than $76,000 in legal fees, Bishop T.D. Jakes has voluntarily dismissed a defamation lawsuit against ex-pastor-turned-registered six offender Duane Youngblood, who accused Jakes of sixually assaulting him 40 years ago.
“Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(a)(ii), Plaintiff Thomas Dexter Jakes hereby gives notice that the above-captioned action is voluntarily dismissed by consent of all parties who have appeared in this action,” the brief notice of dismissal filed by both attorneys for Jakes and Youngblood in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania last Thursday.
Jakes, 68, who founded The Potter's House megachurch in Dallas, Texas, filed the defamation lawsuit against 59-year-old Youngblood on Nov. 25, 2024, a day after he suffered what was later revealed to be a heart attack while preaching.
