Jeffery London

Two more people have accused a former Fort Lauderdale pastor of molesting them, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office report.

The new charges against Jeffery London, 48, include four counts of sexual battery on a child, sexual battery and lewd or lascivious battery. This brings the number of accusers to eight.

One person, now 19, told detectives Thursday that London molested him in Coral Springs five years ago, the Sheriff's Office said. According to the police report, London offered him a cellphone and clothing in exchange for oral sex. He had the teenager sleep in his bed and performed a sexual act on him, the report said.

Additionally, a 16-year-old boy told investigators that London performed oral sex on him when he was 7 years old, the Sheriff's Office said. The alleged abuse occurred when the boy stayed at London's home. He also told police that London raped him during the past year.

London has been in jail since the initial allegations were made in January.
