PAWHUSKA, Okla. — Robert Morris, the former pastor at a megachurch in Texas, waived his preliminary hearing during his latest appearance at the Osage County Courthouse.
Nearly four months after his last appearance, Morris opted to skip over this hearing, moving straight to arraignment, which the judge set for Thursday, October 2 at 2:30pm.
2 News was there when Morris arrived at court. Walking in with his attorney, the former Gateway Church pastor declined to comment. After a 10-minute hearing, Morris walked out in silence again.
Morris faces five counts of lewd indecent acts with a child, stemming from the 1980's when he came to Hominy as a travel evangelist. He turned himself into Osage County Jail back on March 17.
