Robert Morris, former Texas megachurch pastor and Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes - Texas Tribune
Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, and Gateway one of the nations largest megachurches has been particularly active in politics. In 2020, Trump held a Roundtable on Transition to Greatness there that was attended by then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr and other prominent Republicans.
Morris faces five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, the Oklahoma Attorney Generals Office said in a Wednesday evening press release.
The indictment comes less than a year after Morris resigned from Gateway Church in Southlake after an adult woman, Cindy Clemishire, said Morris repeatedly sexually assaulted her while she was a child in Oklahoma in the 1980s. Morris was at the time working as a traveling preacher.

Two pedophile friends seems like two too many, but maybe I'm biased!
