Cindy Clemishire, the Oklahoma woman who accused Gateway Church founding pastor Robert Morris of sexually abusing her starting when she was 12 in the ‘80s, leading to his indictment last week, testified before a Texas House committee about the alleged abuse. Clemishire testified in front of the Texas House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence in support of House Bill 748, which would make certain nondisclosure agreements in child sex abuse cases unenforceable. The bill was authored by State Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano.

The former youth protection director for the Boy Scouts of America said Tuesday the organization is not doing enough to protect children from sexual abuse and is still trying to maintain a veil of secrecy over decades of past abuse. In a speech at the National Press Club, Michael Johnson urged Congress to investigate the BSA’s efforts to cover-up decades of past abuse, as well as the dangers he said the organization still poses to children. “The Boy Scouts of America is not safe for kids. It is safer, but it is not safe for kids,” he said.
