The charges stem from accusations made by Cindy Clemishire, who claims Morris sexually abused her starting in 1982 when she was 12 years old.

Morris, 63, resigned from his church following these allegations. His attorney plans to enter a not guilty plea. If convicted, Morris could face up to 20 years in prison for each charge.
