Robert Preston Morris, an influential former pastor in Texas, was indicted on multiple charges of lewd acts involving a child, stemming from incidents dating back to the 1980s. Morris, who founded the prominent Gateway Church, resigned after accusations from victim Cindy Clemishire surfaced. The Oklahoma Attorney General condemned the abuse, emphasizing the abuses of power by religious figures. Morris, who had a significant role in the evangelical community, faces serious charges reflecting long-standing issues of accountability in church leadership.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond stated, "There can be no tolerance for those who sexually prey on children. This case is all the more despicable because the alleged perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position."
