Morris resigned from Gateway Church last year following allegations that he had sexual relations in Oklahoma with a then 12-year-old girl, Cindy Clemishire, four decades ago.

The North Texas megachurch founder and former spiritual advisor to President Donald Trump, Robert Morris, is facing child sex abuse indictments in Oklahoma, where the attorney general said the statute of limitations has not run out on the alleged incidents from the 1980s.

Leading the fight to do away with NDAs — often signed as part of an agreement to settle sexual abuse lawsuits — is Plano Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, whose House committee last year heard Oklahoma resident Cindy Clemishire, 54, tell of her abuse as a child by Southlake megachurch pastor Robert Morris, then a traveling evangelist.
