Megachurch Founder Robert Morris Pleads Guilty to Child Sex Abuse, Receives Six-Month Jail Term

Robert Morris, 64, founder of Texas-based Gateway Church and a former member of President Trump's evangelical advisory board, pleaded guilty to five felony counts of child sexual abuse.

The charges stem from allegations by a woman, identified as Clemishire, who stated Morris abused her from 1982 to 1985, starting when she was 12 years old in Hominy, Oklahoma.

As part of a plea agreement in Osage County, Oklahoma, Morris received a 10-year suspended sentence and will serve six months in the Osage County Jail.

Morris is also required to register as a sex offender, pay for his incarceration costs, medical expenses, and $270,000 in restitution to the victim.

Following his indictment by an Oklahoma grand jury last year, Morris resigned as senior pastor of Gateway Church and was escorted from court in handcuffs after his plea.
