The accusation was first reported by church watchdog blog The Wartburg Watch on Friday after a pastor encouraged her to share her story.
President Donald Trump speaks during a roundtable discussion about "Transition to Greatness: Restoring, Rebuilding, and Renewing," at Gateway Church Dallas, Thursday, June 11, 2020, in Dallas.
A Dallas megachurch pastor and ex-Trump adviser has admitted to "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady" after a woman accused him of molesting her at 12 years old in the 1980s.When I was in my early twenties, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying. It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong. This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years,” Morris said in his statement.
Morris added "the situation was brought to light" in 1987 while he was a pastor at Shady Grove Church in Grand Prairie and "it was confessed and repented of." "I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady’s father. They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did. Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area,” he said adding that he and his wife met with Clemshire and her family in 1989 to ask their forgiveness.
Since the resolution of the 35-year-old matter, there have been no other moral failures. Pastor Robert has walked in purity, and he has placed accountability measures and people in his life. The matter has been properly disclosed to church leadership."
