The founder and former pastor of one of the US’s largest megachurches has been released from an Oklahoma jail six months after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.
Robert Morris, 64, who started Texas’s Gateway church and also once served as a White House spiritual adviser during Donald Trump’s first presidency, pleaded guilty in early October in Osage county district court on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child.
Under a plea agreement, Morris only had to serve six months in the Osage county jail, with the rest of his 10-year sentence suspended. He was also required to register as a sex offender and pay $270,000 in restitution.
Morris was released from custody early on Tuesday, having completed his sentence, according to jail records and local reports. CBS News reported that he will remain under supervision, with nine and a half years of probation.
