Four members of the Gateway Church Board of Elders will take a temporary leave of absence during an investigation into founder Robert Morris.Morris resigned from his role as senior pastor at the Southlake church after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her beginning when she was just 12 years old.Gateway hired an outside legal team to investigate the claims and what the church knew about them at the time.
Morris' accuser, who is now 54, says she brought up her allegations more than once to Gateway Church leaders.FOX 4 does not typically name alleged sex assault victims, but Cindy Clemishire wants people to know her identity. She claims Morris allegedly started sexually abusing her in 1982. Clemishire says she contacted Gateway Church in 2005 about the allegations.
