The Associated Press reports:

A former pastor of a Texas megachurch is expected to turn himself into Oklahoma authorities Monday on child sexual abuse charges. Robert Preston Morris, 63, is expected to surrender to officials in Osage County, where he was charged last week with five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, his attorney, Mack Martin, told The Associated Press.

Court records show an Osage County judge set a $50,000 bond and ordered Morris to surrender his passport to the local sheriff.

Morris was known to be politically active. The church hosted President Donald Trump on its Dallas campus in 2020 for a discussion on race relations and the economy. Morris could face up to 20 years in prison for each of the five charges, according to the attorney general’s office.

Morris first appeared here in 2022 when he offered a refund on tithing if a parishioner’s life wasn’t improved one year after starting to tithe. He later welshed on those refunds.

Last year Morris was axed from Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board when the molestation allegations first surfaced.

Days later his show was removed from the lineup of the Christian broadcasting behemoth, Daystar Television Network.

In June 2024, Morris threatened to file criminal charges against his alleged victim. Later that same month, it was reported that he called his alleged victim, asking her to “put a price” on dropping her accusations.
