Megachurch pastor and ex-Trump faith adviser admits ‘inappropriate sexual behavior’ after molestation claim

Alex Brandon/AP

Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Morris has admitted to having “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” in the 1980s after a woman accused him of molesting her when she was 12 years old.

“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,” the pastor, a former member of Trump’s faith advisory board, said in his statement.
