Gateway Church Founder Robert Morris Pleads Guilty, Faces Jail Time

Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris pleaded guilty Thursday to repeatedly sexually abusing a young girl in the 1980s, and he will serve jail time as a result.

Morris resigned last summer as the senior pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, following the allegations. He was later indicted by a Multi-County Grand Jury earlier this year.

The 64-year-old appeared in front of Osage County District Special Judge Cindy Pickerill and entered a guilty plea to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child.
