“Let me be clear,” [Clemishire] said. “There is no such thing as consent from a 12-year-old child. We were never in an ‘inappropriate relationship.’ I was not a ‘young lady’ but a child. You committed a crime against me.”
(Protestia) Former megachurch pastor Robert Morris has pleaded guilty to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, admitting that he sexually abused Cindy Clemishire when she was just 12 years old.
In a negotiated plea agreement, Morris, 64, was handed a 10-year sentence but will only serve 6 months before being released. Upon his release, Morris will have to register as a sex offender and pay Clemishire more than $250,000 in restitution.
In a prepared statement, Clemishire told Morris in court his abuse “rippled into every part” of her life, straining relationships, damaging her marriages and affecting the way she raised her children. She said she prayed that God helped him to understand the depth of the pain he inflicted.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Robert Morris.
