CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio -- Pentecostal evangelist Ernest Angley is being sued by a former employee accusing the preacher of sexual misconduct and harassment, according to court records.

The nine-page lawsuit filed Wednesday in Summit County Clerk of Courts by Brock Miller names Angley and Grace Cathedral Inc. as defendants. The lawsuit seeks damages, wages and a position at the megachurch.

The suit says, Angley forced Miller "to undergo a vasectomy -- to ensure that he was never able to have children," as a package to deal to his employment at the church. Miller, who was 18 at the time, began working at Grace Cathedral in January 2004.

Representatives for Grace Cathedral or Angley were unable to be reached Friday night.

The 97-year-old was accused operating like a cult, where women were pressured to get abortions and men were persuaded to have vasectomies in 2014, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

Miller said the harassment and misconduct began after he went to Angley's house to ask him questions about his wedding. During their conversation, Angley told Miller that he could only speak with him if he saw his private area. He also requested Miller to please himself to ensure that he was doing it correctly, the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit says Miller "was terrified and uncomfortable during the situation, but he reluctantly agreed because Angley was not only his boss, but more importantly was a man of God and he trusted him at that time."

Angley later asked Miller if he hadn't told anyone because he wanted to keep it between them two and God, records say.

The lawsuit said Miller and Angley lived across the street from each other.

Miller said the abuse continued until Miller resigned in 2014 and "Grace Cathedral's failure to take prompt and effective remedial action to prevent Defendant Angley's behavior," the lawsuit says.

In 2006, Angley told Miller to come his home for a "special anointing," in which would have Miller strip naked and lie on the bed while Angley gave him a massage, the lawsuit says.

Angley would also ask Miller sexually related questions about his marriage, the lawsuit says.

Angley has dealt with legal matters in the past. He was sued for more than $3 million on a defaulted loan taken by the church's broadcasting network at the end of last year. In April the Cathedral Buffet was closed weeks after a federal judge ordered him to pay more than $388,000 in damages and back wages to employees who the U.S. Department of Labor found worked as unpaid volunteers.

The Labor Department filed suit against the then 95-year-old televangelist and the buffet in 2015 following an investigation spurred by an article in the Akron Beacon Journal. Its lawsuit said Angley and the buffet violated the Fair Labor Standards Act through its use of volunteers and did not document the volunteers' work.
