Trump Spiritual Advisor Robert Morris' 6 Months In Prison For Sexually Abusing Child Sparks Fury
People have expressed outrage over the Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris only having to serve six months in jail after he admitted to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.
In Osage County District Court on Thursday, Morris, 64, admitted to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child.
Under a plea agreement, he was handed a 10-year sentence, but will only serve six months behind bars, NBC News reported. He will also pay $250,000 in restitution and register as a sex offender.
Multiple people have posted their anger on social media, slamming the jail time and re-sharing previous photos of him with U.S. President Donald Trump. Morris served on Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board in 2016.
