Megachurch pastor and ex-Trump adviser pleads guilty to child sexual abuse

 

Robert Morris to serve only six months in county jail after charged with five counts of lewd or indecent acts with child

 

 

 

The founder and pastor of one of the largest megachurches in the US, Robert Morris, has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in Oklahoma in the 1980s.

Morris, 64, pleaded guilty on Thursday in Osage county district court on five criminal counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. He was sentenced to 10 years in custody, but as part of a plea deal will serve only six months in county jail.

He will register as a sex offender and pay $250,000 in restitution.

The disgraced pastor founded Gateway church in Southlake, Texas. He grew it into one of the top 10 largest megachurches in the US, with more than 25,000 visitors weekly.

…

 

The molestation began in 1982 when Morris, then 21, was a travelling evangelist. He stayed with Clemishire’s family in their home, where he invited the child into his room.

The abuse continued for the following four years.

A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.

Morris’s conviction marks a remarkable fall for the pastor. At his peak he authored several bestselling books and his sermons were broadcast around the world.

He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.

Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.

On a similar note....  What's going on with the Epstein files that Trump supposedly wanted released?  If I don't know better because of his obvious high moral standards, I'd be inclined to think he's hiding something...

Perverts of the same ilk are attracted to each other...

So OMCE AGAIN we see that despite Republicans baseless batshit lies about Democrat pedophile conspiracies, in the real world whenever politically connected rapists and pedophiles are exposed they are almost always Republicans.

 

Also lets look at the fact that Texas, supposedly the state of harsh criminal punishment let this guy off with just 6 months in county jail. People who have committed no crime are being deported to dungeons in El Salvador for having overstayed their visa but pedophile can skate free as long as they’re Republican and/or local religious leaders.  But this is the same state in which a rich kid killed several people, got no jail time, violated his probation and  then fled the country only to spend 10 months in prison because the state accepted the infamous “affluenza” defence which stated he should receive leniency because had grown up too privileged to properly learn right from wrong and he was a victim of his upbringing.   In Texas, so-called “justice” has never been about the facts or the law, it has always been about who you are and who you know.

Lol.. yeah cause they were threatening to go after his wife as well. The lawyer in this case is in with chili ring loving Pete Buttegieg and Morris was a Trump supporter. Tells you all you need to know.

Oh a baseless batshit conspiracy, what a surprise! LMAO

And the signature of any ignorant dumbass, a random statement of dubious relevance/accuracy followed by the words “all you need to know” which they think magically erases all the actual relevant accurate facts  

The guy is on tape telling his victim to name her price for hush money.

I used to have a thread on here called “Republican crooks and perverts” and just about once a week there would be a current news story about some Republican politician or their senior staffer getting arrested or fired for embezzling or sexually assaulting/harassing someone. The Democrat ones were few and far between. 
 

I only stopped the thread because I couldn’t keep up, it’s a full time job keeping track of all your party’s miscreants!

I mean, that makes sense that you only care about crooks and perverts as a political attack.

Yeah this is all it is. The Democrats need a headline and are willing to attack innocent people to get it. Vile pieces of shit not doubt. 

There's no doubt a group of wokeys who's business model is targeting conservatives with lawfare. Sick stuff

What a piece of sh*t. I wonder if he's already turned to the democrat party for fellowship and understanding? It'd make sense if he did.
