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.

hope they fry this person....and ANY other involved in ANY way in child abuse and or mistreatment!

So many sick people in the world. Unfortunately nursing is not immune. I've seen several nurses come through my jail. :o

Sick, sick, sick. The image is unbearable.

Disgusting...glad they caught 'em...

That is very scary!!!!!! It's so sad that we actually have people like this living among us!

I'm sure he will make lots of new friends when he goes to prison... they love pedophiles.... NOT!

What I don't understand is how a convicted pedophile got a job in pediatrics in the first place, or why he still had an unrestricted license to practice! Doesn't NY do criminal checks before hiring? Doesn't NY require reporting a criminal conviction to the SBON? Something is wierd with this story.

What I want to know is what prompted them to investigate his computer in the first place?

I'm sorry, but my husband downloads Media overnight, and occasionally, as much as he blocks it, child Media and other undesirables come through. He has to clean it up daily.

I'd need more info about this guy.

OMG, that person is pure EVIL, thank God he was caught !!!

What a waste of human skin and viable organs.

:eek: :eek: :eek: Wow, we are a very judgemental group.

I cannot crucify this man on the scant amount of information available. I have tooo many questions with this story.

Like: Does he live alone? Does anyone else have access to his computer? Why did the police search and seize his computer and software? What action brought on the investigation? Has he ever had any disiplinary problems at work? Has he ever had a complaint brought against him regarding his job?

Of course, his work performance doesn't mean squat if he is convicted.

Now for the small print - I do not condone child Mediaography in any way, shape, or form. I personally think it is a very sick person who finds children sexually stimulating.

Youda What I don't understand is how a convicted pedophile got a job in pediatrics in the first place, or why he still had an unrestricted license to practice! Doesn't NY do criminal checks before hiring? Doesn't NY require reporting a criminal conviction to the SBON? Something is wierd with this story.

If he has never had any past convictions exactly what would a background check prove? Where did you see that he has any previous convictions?
