PASTOR T.D.JAKES STEPSON FACES CHARGE




DALLAS — The stepson of megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes has been arrested on an indecent exposure charge.
Dallas police say Jermaine Jakes is accused of exposing himself to two undercover vice detectives last month. He turned himself in Thursday and was released on a $1,000 personal recognizance bond.
His lawyer, Faith Johnson, didn't return a call to the AP on Thursday. She told Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT: "We are aware of potential allegations involving Jermaine Jakes and are undertaking our own investigation of these allegations at this time."
According to an arrest affidavit, the younger Jakes showed himself to the detectives in a public park near his stepfather's church.
Jakes' stepfather is a Dallas megachurch pastor who gave a sermon at the prayer service for Barack Obama on the morning he was sworn in as president.
