Not if there are more victims we don't yet know about. More may come forward now, hopefully, and if they do, the 10 years probation should then come into play as a sentence.
I also just noticed he pled guilty so presumably the victim was spared having to testify.
This article explains why they finally brought the prosecution, when they realised the statute of limitations did not apply to the case.

He almost didn't get prosecuted at all until they realised there was a loophole. If other victims now realise this too, maybe they will get him for more, is my point. He was travelling state to state so it is very likely IMO.

The founder of a Texas megachurch who resigned last year after a woman in Oklahoma accused the pastor of sexually abusing her in the 1980s pleaded guilty Thursday to five counts of lewd and indecent acts with a child, authorities said.
Robert Preston Morris, 64, entered the pleas before a judge in Oklahoma’s Osage County as part of a plea agreement, according to the state attorney general’s office.

The alleged abuse began in 1982 when the victim was 12 and Morris was a traveling evangelist staying in Hominy, Oklahoma, with her family, according to the statement by Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond. The abuse allegedly continued for four years.
Morris, the senior pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, until his resignation, was indicted by an Oklahoma grand jury last year. Under the plea agreement, Morris received a 10-year suspended sentence with the first six months to be served in the Osage County Jail.
The victim, Cindy Clemishire, who is now 55, said in a statement that “justice has finally been served, and the man who manipulated, groomed and abused me as a 12-year-old innocent girl is finally going to be behind bars.”
The Associated Press typically does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Clemishire has done.
“My hope is that many victims hear my story, and it can help lift their shame and allow them to speak up,” she said. “I hope that laws continue to change and new ones are written so children and victims’ rights are better protected. I hope that people understand the only way to stop child sexual abuse is to speak up when it happens or is suspected.”
A message seeking comment left at Gateway Church’s administrative offices in Southlake, Texas, was not immediately returned.
Morris must also register as a sex offender and will be supervised by Texas authorities via interstate compact. Morris was also ordered to pay his costs of incarceration, including any medical expenses, and restitution to the victim.

Advocates say momentum is growing for completely removing the statute of limitations for child sex abuse lawsuits. Maryland followed Maine and Vermont to become the only three states to have eliminated all time limits on lawsuits.

NEED TO KNOW
- Police are investigating two separate shootings that took place on campus at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg on Saturday, Oct. 4
- A woman is dead and a man remains in the hospital after being struck in the incidents that took place during the HBCU's homecoming celebrations
- Events scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 5, were canceled as the campus remained on lockdown
On Saturday, Oct. 4, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) launched an investigation following two separate shootings at South Carolina State University (SCSU) in Orangeburg that had taken place that evening.
A woman was killed in one of the shootings and a man was rushed to the hospital after being injured in the second incident, SLED said in a news release obtained by PEOPLE.
The HBCU initially issued an alert after reports of shots at Hugine Suites, a student housing facility on campus, according to local outlets WCIV, WRDW and WIS News 10. The shootings occurred during homecoming celebrations following an annual football game, WRDW reported, citing officials.
"The shootings are not believed to be connected at this time, however, SLED’s investigations are active and ongoing," SLED said, per the news release.
In a press release issued on Sunday, Oct. 5, Orangeburg County Coroner Sean Fogle identified the woman who was killed as 19-year-old Jaliyah Butler of Saluda, S.C. He said Butler was pronounced dead at MUSC Health Orangeburg, and an autopsy is scheduled for this week.
The identity of the man injured has not yet been made public.
The campus remained in lockdown on Sunday, Oct. 5, with an official alert on the SCSU website providing students and visitors with instructions.
“The South Carolina State University campus is on lockdown following a shooting,” the alert reads. “All Homecoming events scheduled for Sunday have been canceled. If you are not a current student, please do not attempt to come to campus.”
https://people.com/multiple-people-shot-busy-city-center-11824439The alert also instructs any residents of Hugine Suites, who are not currently in the dormitory, to report to Smith–Hammond–Middleton Memorial Center, an Orangeburg arena. Anyone in the dorm, meanwhile, should “stay put,” the alert says.
“Students in other residence halls return to your rooms. Off-campus residents, please exit the campus,” the alert concludes.
In a statement obtained by WCHSTV SCSU President Alexander Conyers said, “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the young woman who lost her life and to all who have been affected.”
“We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as they investigate these senseless acts of violence. The safety and well-being of our students, employees, and guests remain our top priority,” contiuned Conyers, adding, “I ask everyone to continue caring for one another.”

APPLETON, Wis. (WLUK) -- A Greenville man faces child abuse charges for allegedly causing multiple injuries to his 6-week-old son, so serious that a prosecutor said: “We are lucky this is not a homicide.”
William Page, 35, is charged with physical abuse of a child, repeated acts intentionally causing great bodily harm, and strangulation & suffocation.
A Greenville man faces child abuse charges for allegedly causing multiple injuries to his 6-week-old son, so serious that a prosecutor said: “We are lucky this is not a homicide.” (WLUK)
During an initial appearance Thursday, Page’s bond was set at $100,000 cash. He does not have an attorney, so a status conference was scheduled for Oct. 23.
In asking for a high cash bail, Outagamie County District Attorney Melinda Tempelis detailed the injuries and Page’s accounting of them.
“Again, this baby is six weeks old. He has significant, significant injuries. We are lucky this is not a homicide. But it’s a Class B felony for the injuries that are being alleged,” Tempelis said.
According to the criminal complaint, the Page’s wife brought their baby to a Neenah hospital on Sept. 29 due to injuries on the child’s mouth.
The mother told police she had seen Page strike the child’s chest about a week prior. Page had ‘angry outbursts’ while caring for the boy, she said.
When police interviewed Page, he confirmed the troubles he was having.
“Bill stated that he had set Victim 1 down before and "punched walls, hit doors, slammed doors, hit my bedside table, there's a wall down there I kind of beat at to release anger." Bill also stated that there have been emotional outbursts where he was yelling at his wife. Sgt. Fitzpatrick asked what was causing this, and if it was Victim 1 and his colic and Bill stated "yeah, for me like it gets to the point, like, like I was talking to my pediatrician, like, er my physician, where like my anger, you know, for typically like it just builds, builds, builds, builds... but lately with the colic, which is him crying constantly and so high pitched it seems like my anger will just like, all of a sudden just like snap...it'll be there and snap which is obviously why I want to get back on medication." Sgt. Fitzpatrick sked Bill if he ever hit Victim 1, and Bill stated "I slapped him once",” the complaint states.
At times, Page admitted he squeezed the boy so tightly the child went limp.
“Bill stated he held Victim 1 tightly against him and he went limp and was crying on Saturday. Sgt. Fitzpatrick asked Bill how many times he held Victim 1 to his chest so tightly to the point where there would be less crying and his body would go limp, and Bill indicated "maybe once every four or five times.”,” the complaint states.
Page told police the injuries could have been fatal.
“Sgt. Fitzpatrick asked Bill if he thought he could have killed Victim 1 and he responded "It's possible, but not meaning to, yes, it could have happened, yeah,” the complaint states. “Sgt. Fitzpatrick advised Bill he would be taken into custody for physical abuse of a child and Bill stated, "I don't know why this is considered abuse...this isn't intentional.”
Among injuries documented: seven rib fractures, clavicle fracture, fractures to both femurs, eye hemorrhage, chest contusion, and a wrist fracture, the complaint states.

Like a baby isn't going to cry more with pain from injuries. He isn't any youngster either, the father.
This baby will be very lucky if there aren't permanent injuries and I'd be surprised if there aren't. Sadly.

adoptive dad pleads no contest
Rose Hill man pleads no contest in case of adopted daughter found buried in backyard
Joseph Schroer pleaded no contest to the death of his adopted daughter.
www.kwch.com
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A Rose Hill man pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges in the death of his 6-year-old adopted daughter, whose remains were found buried in their backyard nearly four years after she died.
Joseph Schroer pleaded no contest to two counts of aggravated endangering a child and Medicaid fraud in the death of his adopted daughter, Kennedy Schroer. Counts involving making false information and interfering with law enforcement were dismissed.
Rose Hill police found the remains of six-year-old Kennedy Schroer buried in the backyard of her adoptive parents’ home in Rose Hill, Kansas, on September 11, 2024. Authorities believe she died in November 2020. A report says Kennedy likely died from suffocation.
Due to the decomposition, investigators could not identify the cause of Kennedy’s death. The Sedgwick County Coroner’s Office said her body showed no signs of trauma or signs of healing trauma.
Joseph’s wife, Crystina Schroer, entered a no-contest plea in July to an amended charge of second-degree murder, child abuse, making false information and theft.
By entering the no-contest pleas, the Schroers do not admit to having committed these acts, but do not contest that they did not commit them.
As a condition of the plea agreement, the state is requesting a restitution amount of around $27,000, the amount lost by the state in relation to the Medicaid fraud and other state subsidies. Joseph is ordered to pay $13,413.82. Crystina has been ordred to pay the other half.
The Schroers will be sentenced in person. Crystina is set for sentencing on Nov. 10. Joseph will be sentenced on Dec. 3.
Joseph could face a prison sentence of five to 17 months in prison for each charge, depending on his criminal history.

This guy's lawyer is the one that is also defending D4vd.
Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, a 48-year-old from Mississippi, has pleaded not guilty to felony stalking and vandalism. But in May, Judge Maria Cavalluzzi found him not competent to stand trial after evaluations from two experts. At Friday’s hearing in a Los Angeles court dedicated to mental health cases, she heard arguments on Carwyle's treatment and placement.
Aniston’s lawyer, Blair Berk, spoke on her behalf for the first time, detailing two years of Carwyle’s harassment and stalking, including various failed attempts to make physical contact with the actor.
Cavalluzzi said she leaned toward sending Carwyle to a mental health treatment alternative to imprisonment. She requested another hearing, scheduled for later this month, to hear from a mental health professional before making a final decision.
Prosecutors and Aniston’s attorney will have a chance to weigh in, Cavalluzzi said.
The judge acknowledged Aniston's “very real" fear, but she said she can't ignore the opinions of mental health professionals who have evaluated Carwyle and deemed him not a danger to society. The alternative treatment option offers community-based housing, treatment and support services as opposed to incarceration.
Carwyle had a stated and “persistent delusion” to impregnate Aniston with three children, Berk said, and “there is simply no way to prevent him from carrying out his delusion if he walks out.”
The prosecution expressed concern that if Carwyle were offered the treatment in Los Angeles, nothing would stop him “from traveling those few miles to Ms. Aniston,” Berk said.
Berk and William Donovan, the deputy district attorney, argued Carwyle was a present danger to Aniston and those around her. Berk said he attempted to enter her property twice, but was turned away.
Carwyle’s lawyer, Robert Krauss, said his client qualifies for alternative treatment, arguing that he hasn’t been convicted of violent crimes. Granting him alternative treatment, “is not like giving him a break or showing him leniency,” Krauss said. “Its just one thing and one thing only — and that is absolute, pure faithfulness of the law.”
Krauss also referenced a report from the probation department, which recommended Carwyle be granted probation and 90 days in jail if convicted, much less than the over three years maximum sentence for his two charges. Carwyle has been in jail since May and, if convicted, could be let out with time served.
When Cavalluzzi asked how she can be sure he won’t walk away from the treatment program — a stated concern from the prosecution — Carwyle responded, “You have my word.”
Berk said Carwyle “traveled thousands of miles over a year ago “after sending thousands of messages" that reflected “his delusions and intentions to not just make contact with Ms. Aniston, but to commit criminal wrongs against her, sexual violence against her.” She added that Carwyle stressed in his messaging that he “would be unabated by doctors or others or FBI intervening.”
Donovan argued that a state hospital is a “much safer, much more effective place for him to go,” and will offer the treatment Carwyle needs to address his delusions. The prosecution also argued there’s no evidence that Carwyle’s delusions toward Aniston have stopped, even with medication.
Carwyle has been under involuntary medication for the past few months. Krauss said that Carwyle's actions toward Aniston were “just the product of psychosis from someone who is unmedicated." The government must keep its “promise of treatment rather than punishment and of rehabilitation rather than incarceration,” he said.
The hearing was postponed several times in recent months as Carwyle at first objected to the incompetence finding and asked for an opinion, and both sides sought more time to examine the case.
Carwyle remains jailed, but he is under a judge's order not to contact or get near Aniston.
Authorities said Aniston was home at the time of the gate crash, but he did not come into contact with her. A security guard stopped him in her driveway until police arrived. No one was injured.
Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm.
Aniston became one of the biggest stars in television in her 10 years on NBC's “Friends.” She won an Emmy Award for best lead actress in a comedy for the role, and she has been nominated for nine more. She currently stars in “The Morning Show” on Apple TV+.

Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, a 48-year-old from Mississippi, has pleaded not guilty to felony stalking and vandalism. But in May, Judge Maria Cavalluzzi found him not competent to stand trial after evaluations from two experts. At Friday’s hearing in a Los Angeles court dedicated to mental health cases, she heard arguments on Carwyle's treatment and placement.
Aniston’s lawyer, Blair Berk, spoke on her behalf for the first time, detailing two years of Carwyle’s harassment and stalking, including various failed attempts to make physical contact with the actor.
Cavalluzzi said she leaned toward sending Carwyle to a mental health treatment alternative to imprisonment. She requested another hearing, scheduled for later this month, to hear from a mental health professional before making a final decision.
Prosecutors and Aniston’s attorney will have a chance to weigh in, Cavalluzzi said.
The judge acknowledged Aniston's “very real" fear, but she said she can't ignore the opinions of mental health professionals who have evaluated Carwyle and deemed him not a danger to society. The alternative treatment option offers community-based housing, treatment and support services as opposed to incarceration.
Harassment started 2 years ago, prosecutors say
Prosecutors alleged Carwyle had been harassing the “Friends” star with a flood of voicemail, email and social media messages for two years before driving his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gate of her home in the wealthy Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles on May 5, “only feet away from where she was,” Berk said.Carwyle had a stated and “persistent delusion” to impregnate Aniston with three children, Berk said, and “there is simply no way to prevent him from carrying out his delusion if he walks out.”
The prosecution expressed concern that if Carwyle were offered the treatment in Los Angeles, nothing would stop him “from traveling those few miles to Ms. Aniston,” Berk said.
Berk and William Donovan, the deputy district attorney, argued Carwyle was a present danger to Aniston and those around her. Berk said he attempted to enter her property twice, but was turned away.
Carwyle’s lawyer, Robert Krauss, said his client qualifies for alternative treatment, arguing that he hasn’t been convicted of violent crimes. Granting him alternative treatment, “is not like giving him a break or showing him leniency,” Krauss said. “Its just one thing and one thing only — and that is absolute, pure faithfulness of the law.”
Krauss also referenced a report from the probation department, which recommended Carwyle be granted probation and 90 days in jail if convicted, much less than the over three years maximum sentence for his two charges. Carwyle has been in jail since May and, if convicted, could be let out with time served.
Suspect says he won't walk away from treatment
Carwyle was present at the hearing and addressed questions from Cavalluzzi, saying he “wasn’t right in the head,” when asked about the text messages he sent Aniston. He said he has been taking medication, which is keeping him focused, and admitted his wrongdoing.When Cavalluzzi asked how she can be sure he won’t walk away from the treatment program — a stated concern from the prosecution — Carwyle responded, “You have my word.”
Berk said Carwyle “traveled thousands of miles over a year ago “after sending thousands of messages" that reflected “his delusions and intentions to not just make contact with Ms. Aniston, but to commit criminal wrongs against her, sexual violence against her.” She added that Carwyle stressed in his messaging that he “would be unabated by doctors or others or FBI intervening.”
Donovan argued that a state hospital is a “much safer, much more effective place for him to go,” and will offer the treatment Carwyle needs to address his delusions. The prosecution also argued there’s no evidence that Carwyle’s delusions toward Aniston have stopped, even with medication.
Carwyle has been under involuntary medication for the past few months. Krauss said that Carwyle's actions toward Aniston were “just the product of psychosis from someone who is unmedicated." The government must keep its “promise of treatment rather than punishment and of rehabilitation rather than incarceration,” he said.
The hearing was postponed several times in recent months as Carwyle at first objected to the incompetence finding and asked for an opinion, and both sides sought more time to examine the case.
Carwyle remains jailed, but he is under a judge's order not to contact or get near Aniston.
Authorities said Aniston was home at the time of the gate crash, but he did not come into contact with her. A security guard stopped him in her driveway until police arrived. No one was injured.
Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm.

She's mid 50s, he better get busy fast if he thinks he will impregnate her with 3 babies. This guy needs to be evaluated and not taken at his "word". Sheesh. He is dangerous to more than just her because I fully believe that if he can't get to her, he will find another delusion to quell.

The twisted Staten Island teen accused of killing his mother’s boyfriend allegedly gave a full, gory confession — including that he planned to liquify the body in a blender and flush it down the toilet, starting with the brain, law enforcement sources said.
Damien Hurstel, 19, allegedly calmly admitted to cops at the NYPD’s 120th Precinct that he fatally bludgeoned Anthony Casalaspro, 45, over the head with a meat tenderizer because he wanted to know what it was like to kill someone, sources told The Post.
Hurstel was expected to be arraigned Wednesday morning on murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges, authorities said.
The alleged spare-no-details confession came after cops took Hurstel, who has a long history of mental illness, into custody Monday evening, according to the sources.
Hurstel allegedly told police the brutal slaying unfolded after he argued with his mother during the morning inside their West Brighton home, prompting Casalaspro to tell him to take a walk to calm down, the sources said.
The agitated Hurstel allegedly returned home to find his mother gone, leading to an altercation that ended with him beating Casalaspro to death with a meat tenderizer, the sources said.
He allegedly planned to cut Casalaspro’s body into pieces that he’d pulverize with a blender, but ran into trouble carrying out his deranged dismemberment plan, according to the sources.
A first attempt to sever Casalaspro’s head with a kitchen knife failed, prompting the sick suspect to grab a hand saw from a shed to finish the grisly job, sources said.
He then allegedly used a hammer in a failed attempt to remove Casalaspro’s brain, but he was interrupted by his younger sister arriving home from school, the sources said.
The blood-drenched Hurstel allegedly chillingly told his sister, “I did something bad, go to your room,” sources detailed.
But the unsettling warning went unheeded, as Hurstel’s sister followed a trail of blood to the bathroom and found Casalaspro’s dismembered body in the tub — with a spoon sticking out of the severed head’s eye socket, the sources said.
The grisly discovery prompted the girl, 16, to call her mother, who rushed to the Cary Avenue house as NYPD cops grappled with the scene, according to sources and neighbors.
“The mom, she just kept saying to her son, ‘Why would you kill him?! I still loved him!’ She was yelling, screaming from outside into the house. Where her son was,” said neighbor Jennifer Diaz, 46.
An eerily calm Hurstel left the home with his hands up when police arrived shortly after 4:20 p.m., sources said.
Diaz said the alleged killer teen’s mom didn’t look at him as cops walked him from the house, hands cuffed behind his back and a spooky expression on his gore-streaked face.
“He had blood on his face and his Timberland construction boots, but not blood on his clothes,” the stunned neighbor said.
“He looked relieved, no expression on his face. Blank face, but so calm. No expression. He said nothing, just very calm.”
Hurstel was taken to the hospital and was seen on Tuesday being wheeled out of the NYPD’s 120th Precinct on a gurney, still bloodied and wearing a Tyvek suit.
He had been scheduled for an arraignment, but he appeared to suffer a seizure while being transported to a Staten Island courthouse and was taken to a hospital, sources said.
The teen has no criminal record, but his history of mental illness includes schizophrenia and self-harm going back to 2022, sources said.
The family has a history of domestic incident reports, according to sources. It’s unclear if the siblings are biologically related.
Casalaspro, a city Department of Sanitation worker, had been with the suspect’s mom for nearly six years and the couple “had their ups and downs with the kids,” his close friend Louis Ortiz told The Post Monday night.
While the alleged killer could be “sweet as pie,” he “was always going through stuff in school — mental health issues,” Ortiz said.
Neighbor Mariano Castro, 36, said Casalaspro and his partner’s son appeared to have a normal relationship, noting he had just recently seen the two in their backyard mowing the lawn and grilling.
Screams from Hurstel’s mom rattled the normally quiet, tree-lined block as EMS arrived Monday evening, and at least one neighbor said she got sick as the headless body was carted from the home.
“‘There’s no need to go in, you can’t help him,’” the distraught mother told the first responders, Diaz said.
“She was screaming. She said, ‘His head is in the tub. There’s nothing for you to do.’”
The mom and her family declined to comment.
