Gateway Pastor Robert Morris, Trump Adviser, Resigns After Admitting 1980s Sexual Abuse of 12-Year-Old
Jun 18, 2024, 04:33 PM
Robert Morris, the founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, has resigned following allegations of sexual abuse. Morris admitted to engaging in 'inappropriate sexual behavior' with a woman who claims he molested her starting when she was 12 years old, beginning on Christmas in 1982, and the abuse continued for several years. The victim, now 54, alleges the abuse continued for several years. Morris, who also served as a spiritual adviser to former President Donald Trump, confessed to the misconduct in a statement to The Christian Post. Gateway Church's board of elders has accepted his resignation on Tuesday and retained a law firm to investigate the allegations. The church stated that Morris had 'no other moral failures' since the incident.
