Under a negotiated plea agreement, Morris was given a ten year sentence, but he will only serve six months in county jail.

PAWHUSKA, Okla.— Robert Morris, the Texas megachurch pastor who built Gateway Church into one of the largest congregations in the country, pleaded guilty Thursday in Osage County District Court to charges that he sexually abused a girl in the 1980s.

Morris, 64, entered the plea before Judge Cindy Pickerill, admitting to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. Under a negotiated plea agreement, he was given a ten-year sentence, but he will only serve six months in county jail. He must also be registered as a sex offender and pay $250,000 in restitution.

Morris was handcuffed and taken into custody after Thursday's hearing.

Cindy Clemishire, the woman who accused Morris of molesting her at age 12, sat in the courtroom, surrounded by family, as Morris accepted responsibility — a moment she sought for decades.
