SO FAR, the accusation is that Wilson used images of children in sexual activity on his own home computer. But the number of pictures and the accusation that he uploaded images as well as downloaded has investigators concerned.
State police arrested Wilson after searching his apartment at 124 Dana Avenue. That's just a couple of blocks from the hospital where Wilson works as a nurse in the pediatric unit. Wilson's personal computer and associated software was seized.
Wilson has been suspended from his job at Albany Med while his case continues through the legal system. The hospital has no further comment on him.
Wilson is currently in jail awaiting a preliminary hearing.
There is no current evidence that Wilson did anything criminal at Albany Med, but the fact that an accused pedophile was nursing children has authorities concerned and continuing their investigation.
