'He did touch every part of my body'
(CHRISTIAN POST ) -- Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, which attracts an estimated 100,000 worshipers weekly, has confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” more than 35 years ago while he was a young pastor after a woman accused him of sexually abusing her over multiple years beginning when she was 12.
“When I was in my early twenties, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying.
It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong.
This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years,” Morris said in a statement to The Christian Post after Gateway Church was asked about the allegations.
“In March of 1987, this situation was brought to light, and it was confessed and repented of.
I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady’s father.
They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did.
Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area,” Morris added.
