Trump Spiritual Advisor Now Very Sorry For Molesting A 12-Year-Old Girl

[muriel_volestrangler]

One of his lawyers previously claimed the 12-year-old girl seduced him.

Former megachurch pastor Robert Morris, who previously advised Donald Trump on matters of faith, spirituality, and we can assume morality, has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing Cindy Clemishire for several years starting when she was 12 years old — a situation he previously described as “inappropriate sexual behavior.”

Clemishire met Morris in 1982, when he was a 20-year-old married man just starting his ministry. The abuse began when he stayed with her family over Christmas and asked her to come stay with him in his room, after which he began fondling and kissing her. It lasted for four years, until he actually tried to have sex with her in his car and she finally told a friend, who told her father, which then led to Morris being “banned” from the ministry for about two years.

Morris, who founded Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, agreed to a plea deal in Osage County Courthouse in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, after having previously pleaded not guilty in March when he was indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child.

In exchange for having pleaded guilty this time, he received a 10-year suspended sentence, of which he will serve six months and then be required to register as a sex offender. He is also required to pay Climishire $270,000 in restitution, which really does not seem like enough, given the many million dollar properties he owns. Especially considering that he demanded that Gateway Church pay him millions after he was forced to resign over the whole “being a child molester” thing last year. The fact that he stands to make more money from sexually abusing a 12-year-old than his victim will receive is rather galling.

The disgraced pastor founded Gateway church in Southlake, Texas. He grew it into one of the top 10 largest megachurches in the US, with more than 25,000 visitors weekly.
...
A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.
...
He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.

Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.

There's nothing Trump likes more than a fellow sexual abuser. Such as Jeffrey Epstein.

1. A Trump spiritual advisor?

Like, who advised whom?

And don't forget:

2. Banned for 2 years? Shoulda been banned for life.

He should be embarrassed to have tried claiming a 12 year old seduced him. BULLSHIT! That is both pathetic and infuriating.

What is it with these self-righteous creepy preachers who can't keep it in their pants?

[MagickMuffin]

7. It's so much easier to preach morality than practice it

Apparently from the so called christian leaders. They just can’t seem to follow their 10 commandments that they are constantly wanting to ram down our throats!

[markodochartaigh]

26. I think that most professions which require a license

would revoke the professional license for a crime like this. It does seem crazy that someone convicted of sexual abuse of a minor couldn't be a nurse, architect, attorney, etc. but could be a pastor.

[3catwoman3]

28. It would be interesting to know what percentage of child molesters are preachers of one sort or another.

[Hekate]

3. A "20-year old married man" ? Why do I get strong vibes that his church & family knew what he was...

…and imagined that marrying him off would redirect his sexual energies.

[MIButterfly]

4. What a revolting creature and a pastor on top of it!

There has to be a special place in Hell for child molesters.

And talk about a slap on the wrist as "punishment." The whole thing is disgusting.

His wife must be very proud.

[Hekate]

10. Unless his wife caught him and covered it up she has nothing to do with it

If he was a married man at 20, how old was she? 18? And was this a “covenantal marriage” with no divorce possible? And was she pregnant early and often?

Too many questions in my mind.

No excuses for him and his church though. Denial is a helluva drug.

5. Cruz has his back

6. Trump's new clique of spiritual advisors are available when they're not in prison.

9. These laying on of hands pictures make me want to puke.

12. "Let's go, GOP! Those pussies ain't gonna grab themselves!"-Spiritual Advise for MAGA

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. I notice that the woman in green on the left has her hand

ready to block any attempts to grab it. And the other two are keeping a close eye on his hands, especially the one in black.

[Midnight Writer]

21. "Covering the goodies" seems to be a common pose for women when they are with Trump.

Even his daughters use that pose with both hands covering the cookie jar.

[paleotn]

16. Freaks! They're all a bunch of freaks!

[MagickMuffin]

8. Local news channel interviewed Cindy

She was hoping he would apologize for his uncontrollable behavior and he wouldn’t even look at her. Cowards one and all.

[dalton99a]

11. Kick

[TygrBright]

13. Scratch a mega-church...

...and find greed, corruption, coercion, creepy sex and bad haircuts.

nauseatedly,
Bright

[ck4829]

25. Yup

[Bristlecone]

14. Very on brand.

[paleotn]

15. They're all pedos. Every single one of them.

And every single accusation they throw out is an admission.

[sakabatou]

17. Is he being prosecuted?

[IronLionZion]

18. It's amazing how he's surrounded by so many child predators throughout his life

I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

[erpowers]

20. More Than 6 Months

He should have gotten more than 6 months. He should have gotten years in prison, at least 10 years.

[UTUSN]

22. K&R

[spanone]

23. Sorry he got caught.

Nothing more.

[ck4829]

24. Another Trump Spiritual Advisor

[Ilsa]

27. 'She seduced me.'

Who says shit like that about 12 year girls? My first thought was the Taliban. Who would have thought it would be a southern, conservative evangelical minister with a family?

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

29. WAIT WUT?!! He RAPED that little girl from the time she was 12 FUCKING YEARS OLD & he only has to serve 6 GodDa***d

months? WHAT IN THE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES is happening? The 10 year suspended sentence, shouldn't have been suspended and it should have been 35 years +! I'm disgusted by these creeps because I VICTORIOUSLY survived when my stepfather's 18-19 year old nephew raping me 5 days a week, beginning at 3.5 years old. These perverts need to be given LIFETIME w/o no chance of parole and placed in GenPop. I know that there are many here who believe that kid diddlers need to be protected in AdSeg BUT that creep took something from me that ended my childhood at 3.5 & the "pastor" took her childhood & innocence. It went on for almost 2 years. I say, if you hurt a child & steal their innocence, it's clear that they give no fucks about that tiny human...So, why should they be protected in prison and given a soft landing by suspending the sentence and allowing the pervert to be out and about after the bullshit 6 month sentence where there are opportunities for him to do it again to another child? The amount of monies paid to that little girl is too small and should have been 10X that much.
I have NO sympathy for him. As far as I'm concerned, you hurt an innocent soul & that soul will never have the life they should have had, so he needs to be put in prison in GenPop. Sorry, not sorry.
