Two victims under the age of 18 disclosed they were sexually abused and sodomized on multiple occasions between the ages of 14 and 16.

A 17-year-old boy first came forward with allegations in 2022.

Officials said he used religion to manipulate the boys.

At the time, Morris was a teacher with JCPS. He was a coach in the district and for a traveling AAU basketball team.

A jury recommended 165 years in prison and no probation eligibility. State law has a sentencing cap of 70 years.

Just from that headline, how did I know the teacher was a man? The sentencing gap strikes again. If the offending teacher were a woman, she'd probably get a suspended sentence.

He's being made to pay for the state's gross mistake of locking gay men up under sodomy statutes for decades.
