Revelations that Gateway Church founder Robert Morris molested a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s sent shockwaves throughout Christian circles last summer. More than a year later, Morris pleaded guilty last week to the crime, admitting to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. As part of a plea agreement, he received a 10-year suspended sentence and will spend six months in jail, register as a sex offender, and pay $270,000 in restitution.
