More than two decades after Cindy Clemishire alleges she was sexually assaulted by Robert Morris, starting when she was just 12 years old, the Gateway Church pastor asked her an alarming question aimed at keeping her quiet. "Put a price on it," Morris said on Sept. 22, 2005, according to a phone call transcript obtained by NBC News through a former Gateway staffer.
