According to a Dallas Police Department arrest warrant affidavit obtained by CBS 11 News, Jakes exposed himself to two undercover vice detectives at Keist Park on Jan. 3.

The affidavit says Jakes walked up to one of the detectives at the park with his pants unzipped.  Jakes then began to masturbate while making eye contact with the detective, according to the affidavit.

The detectives arrested Jakes on a charge of indecent exposure.

Late Wednesday evening, CBS 11 News received a statement from Faith Johnson, an attorney for Jermaine Jakes.  The statement read:

"We are aware of potential allegations involving Jermaine Jakes and are undertaking our own investigation of these allegations at this time.  Given an apparent government investigation, we have no further comment at this time."

Thursday morning, Dallas County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Kimberlee Leach said Jermaine Jakes surrendered to law enforcement authorities earlier in the day.  Jakes turned himself in at a local jail, Leach said, but she did not know which jail. 

After his surrender Thursday morning, a judge released Jakes on a personal recognizance bond.

Various reports have identified Jermaine Jakes as the son of T.D. Jakes and also as his step-son.  Faith Johnson, the attorney, told CBS 11 News he was T.D. Jakes' step-son.  But on Thursday afternoon we talked to Curtis Coats III, who is the Chief of Communications for The Potter's House.  Coats said at various times T.D. Jakes has identified Jermaine using both terms, and told us either is acceptable.

NARRATIVE:

On January 3, 2009, at about 10:10pm, Detectives X, and X, of the Dallas Police Department Vice Unit, were working in an undercover capacity at 2106 W. Kiest Blvd in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.

Detectives X, and X were conducting an investigation regarding citizen complaints of sexual activity occurring at Kiest Park located at 2106 W. Kiest Blvd. Detectives X and X both parked their vehicles in the parking lot on the east side of the park. Detectives X and X observed suspect Jakes and several other unknown males park their vehicles in the parking lot. Detective X observed suspect Jakes enter the wooded area. Suspect Jakes remained in the wooded area for several minutes.

Detective X and Detective X entered the wooded area. Suspect Jakes walked directly over to where Detective X was, and stood next to Detective X with his penis exposed through his unzipped pants.

Suspect Jakes then began to masturbate his erect penis with his left hand for several seconds while making eye contact with Detective X.  After Detective X made a case, Detective X who was standing nearby in view, was signaled that a case had been made. Suspect Jakes masturbated his erect penis in order to gratify himself and Detective X.

Suspect Jakes made no attempt to conceal his erect penis from Detective X, or any other person who might be offended by his actons. There were people walking and jogging at the park on the jogging trail next to the wooded area during the time of  this offense. Detectives X and X both identified themselves as Dallas Police Officers. Detectives X and X  followed suspect Jakes to his vehicle where a valid Texas Drivers License was obtained for positive identification.

Suspect Jakes was photographed and released pending an at large case filing for Indecent exposure.

Suspect Jakes committed the offense of indecent exposure by exposing his erect penis in a public place with his intent to gratify or arouse the sexual desire of himself. Suspect Jakes was reckless about whether another was present who would be offended or alarmed by his actions. This offense occured in Dallas, Dallas county Texas."

I didn't know that T.D. Jakes has a step son.

Not sure if I believe this story.

I feel for the poor son. He has really been dealt a bad hand to be the son of such a deceitful and exploitative man is reason enough to loose one's composure.

Mr Huxley, you are reasoning here like a child! You want me to believe that the father is responsible because he is a deceitful and exploitative father? Come on, the guy in question is an adult and I am so sure that his daddy did not ask him to go and masturbate in a public park ! Keep his daddy away from the guy's moral failure.

If you read my post carefully, you would see that I was taking a swipe at his dad (you must know by now that I never pass up an oppurtunity to hammer on the pastors/clerics etc). Of course, the son is entire responsible for his acts, but the environment in which he lives might have had a role in not allowing him to lead a life in a more natural manner.

I disagree. Not all Nigerians that grew up in this nation of corruption that are corrupt. They are saints here despite our corruption infestated enviroment.

What exactly do you disagree with? He has already said the "matured" son is entirely responsible for his actions.

Are you

1. Implying that environment and upbringing have no effect in influencing a child's behaviour in adulthood ?

or

2. Just disagreeing because well, you have nothing better to do?

Sorry, I almost fell into the same trap of something I've accused others of on this forum (thinking in binary), feel free to add any other reasons for your disagreement as option 3, then we can take it on from there.
