Cindy Clemishire, 55, the woman who publicly identified herself as the victim of Morris’s sexual abuse, was present in the courtroom as he pleaded guilty. In a prepared statement she told him: “There is no such thing as consent from a 12-year-old child. We were never in an ‘inappropriate relationship.’ I was not a ‘young lady’ but a child. You committed a crime against me.”
A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.
He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.
Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.
From the article:
“… Clemishire went public. She had spent years trying to hold her abuser accountable…”
So next time you try to muddy the waters by asking about the victims motivations etc I suggest you read the article. The answer may be in there next time just like it is this time.
Also, and this is from personal experience, it’s not easy to accept when you have been taken advantage of. Coming to terms with guilt. Blaming yourself etc etc etc.
If you do get over that then it’s still not easy to face your attacker(s).
And I would guess that if your attacker was/is very rich and, apparently, respected/good reputation in their community it’s going to be even harder to get people to believe you.
In short, fuck off with your victim blaming bullshit.
Lol. Thanks for using that quote. “spent years trying to hold her abuser accountable…”
Im sorry, but what does that even mean? And since the article is only vague about it, we don’t know. But we can assume she realistically could have made a police report within those 40 years. I read this article and others related to it. Motives are very relevant in this issue because it took over 40 years for these charges to be brought against him. Im sorry if considering motives “muddies the water” for you, but it is relevant and important.
Wow, you are either a troll or being deliberately obtuse and pedantic.
The good news is that I worked out years ago that life is too short to deal with things like you. The even better news is she got the justice she needed. The paedo admitted his guilt. And you made yourself look like an absolutely terrible person.
Buhbye, you’re blocked.
Uhh what’s going on here?
