Gateway Church Pastor Robert Morris speaks on March 21, 2020. "He simply accepted responsibility for his crime from the mid-1980's and pled guilty. He pled guilty because he wanted to accept responsibility for his conduct. "He also pled guilty for the sake of finality. In addition to his six-month jail term and a 10-year suspended sentence, Morris will also have to pay $270,000 in restitution and register as a sex offender.
