Summary

Dallas-area megachurch Gateway removed four elders after an investigation found they either knew about or failed to investigate founder Robert Morris’s sexual abuse of a minor in the 1980s.

Morris, a former Trump spiritual adviser, resigned in June after admitting to “inappropriate sexual behavior” with Cindy Clemishire, starting when she was 12. The investigation, led by the Haynes and Boone law firm, contradicted initial church statements claiming ignorance of the victim’s age.

Morris allegedly tried to minimize Clemishire’s account and even offered her money to stay silent.

    Thanks, the internet is decaying all around us - dead links, revival of date stamps on articles and AI slop.

    Replaced. Unfortunately, didn’t feel like America is capable of reading it with any empathy or lesson learned.
