"When I was in my early twenties, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behaviour with a young lady in a home where I was staying. It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong."

Source: Morris's public statement to the Christian Post, June 2024. A deliberate minimization: the 'young lady' was 12 years old, the 'inappropriate behaviour' was repeated molestation over four years, and he later pleaded guilty to five felony counts.

Scripture: Proverbs 12:22 — Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
