Widespread outrage is mounting after Robert Morris, a megachurch pastor and former spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, was sentenced to just six months in jail after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.
Morris admitted in court Thursday to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from abuse that took place in the 1980s. Despite the severity of the charges, the plea deal struck with prosecutors allows him to serve only half a year of a 10-year sentence, NBC News reported. He will also pay $250,000 in restitution and be required to register as a sex offender.
