I knew something wasn't right about him.

• Oh, vomit! He got so emotional about his young son on the show.

• Ho ly Shit. Wow.

• Why isit always the hot ones who are the perverts?

  Gail%20Simmons

• Users of child pornography are the scum of the earth.

• damn, he doesn't look like a sick freak

• Another article with a creepy mugshot. I can't believe he was arrested back in December -- about a month after Season 1 concluded -- and it stayed under wraps all this time.

  OP

• Holy shit is right. Seriously, this is one of the more shocking things I've read on DL, and I thought I was beyond shock at this stage.

• My husband said that Morgan has a Mona Lisa smile in his mugshot. Really creeped me out, because he absolutely does.

• The comments about Morgan's creepy eyes in the old Top Chef: Just Desserts thread are kind of interesting in light of this.

• No f'in way! He did have a creepy vibe, but I predicted he would be a serial killer before a child porn smuggler. I actually thought he should have won, over Yigit. Good thing he didn't, because it would have been a black eye for the show. What isn't clear is if he had pics of boys or gls, or both? His overly emotional crying over his son was another thing that struck me as odd. I wonder if his wife knew, and that's why she left him?

• I always thought he was very creepy and a nasty SOB.

• The real creeps are you reality show addicts who have no lives and make such horrors famous. You're soulless zombies.

• Oh, R12, go fuck yourself. This is crazy news. I totally agree with R4. And I would love to see some of the pedo freaks on DL busted as well.

• Gawd, so disgusting and gross. And he was a HUGE asshole, so I'm glad he got found out, the sick fucker.

• "Oh, [R12], go fuck yourself. " oh, but honey, you're so good at it yourself! Manically masturbating to any nude screencaps of your beloved 'reality show' nobodies, DVRing EVERY episode of your SHOWS! Face it, you have no life.

• Now that is one hot Daddy.

  MacKenzie%20Phillips

• WTF, he should have stayed in prison. Wilson was released Dec. 16, 2010, on a $10,000 bond under the stipulation that he would not have access to any computer without monitoring software.

• R12/15 - no one sounds as obsessive as you. You're a bitter nutjob.

• WOW! That is beyond sick! Watching toddlers have sex?!!!! I hope he didn't molest his son. R10 usually I have heard that molesters go after boys and girls because they usually don't care just as long as its a child. Their sexual attractions are usually children period. Boy little boys and girl's bodies usually look the same accept for their genitalia of course so that maybe the reason why these predators take any child. I wonder if he has molester in children in his neighborhood or anywhere else? My gosh! his mug shot is creepy as hell! The way he looks like he could belong in the league of the Mansion family, YIKES! Also, he is probably a psychopath because they can lie to the point that they believe their own lies. When he talked about his son and crying how much he missed him, I bet it was a sick put on. You can't believe anything some like that says.

• [quote] Another article with a creepy mugshot. What the hell is he wearing?? It looks like some super feminine white turtleneck. And why is he smiling?? Ew.

• I think child molestation occurs MUCH more frequently than we as a nation (and planet) are willing to admit. I also think that many if not most of these child pornographers were probably abused as children, hence their interest in creating and viewing these types of images. Behavior is learned. Homosexuality is a genetic predisposition and can be found in most animal species. Child molestation is not found in the wild. We don't see apes and lions and birds having sex with their offspring.

• R21, you hit the nail on the head. I have heard that many who molest, were molested was children because they think that is the way and normal way to express their sexuality because they got a warped view of sexuality at a young age. My cousin used to be a Psychologist for prisoners who were murders and child molesters. He said that child molesters couldn’t be rehabilitated. In fact they said they don't care they would do it again. Also, he said it is the same dealing with murderers. He counseled murders and they had not a least bit of remorse. They said if they get out of jail they would kill again. However, people who did drugs and who stole, I think it was a whole different story.

• That's true. There's no "cure" for child molesters. Child molesters really make me angry because the damage that they do to a child is irreversible.

• Per the police affidavit, he used a Mac laptop. Enough said.

• Agree with R21. Reality show watchers are, for the most part, trash. Most of you are poorly educated, many of you unemployed or underemployed and too lazy to use TV time for something actually entertaining or which you might learn from. Few of you, if any, ever go to the gym or take walks or read books. You're one of the primary reasons American society is deteriorating and I find that really sad. Get away from the trash television, save yourselves and do something good for yourself or the world.

• Reality show watchers are for the most part trash, r25? And what of dataloungers who take time to comment on things they disdain? In what circle of hell do YOU belong?

• He looks like a serial killer in the mug shot. This is very shocking even though he was a big creep on the show.

• I wonder if he used his skills as a pastry chef to lure his young victims with cupcakes.

• Stop with the stupid attacks on reality TV. There's quite a difference between most reality TV shows and Top Chef. If you're not familiar with the show, please stop talking out of your ass.

• [quote] Stop with the stupid attacks on reality TV. There's quite a difference between most reality TV shows and Top Chef. EL OH EL.

• R25 sounds like a real treat. I am also wondering what he was wearing in the mugshot. It looks like a bed sheet wrapped around his neck.

• ^ Or a Snuggie

• Wow!!

• My 8 year-old always thought Morgan was creepy- guess she was right! I watch Top Chef and Project Runway with my kid who loves them both. We always cook after Top Chef and she sews DURING Project Runway. She got a sewing machine for her 8th birthday and having two dads who don't sew would never have been inspired without these shows. Along with That Girl, these are our Tivo weekend "family shows". FYI- I exercise, read more than I watch TV and walk to work. Also composted leaves and did a Girl Scout bike ride this morning while (R25) was no doubt out saving and improving the world for us brain dead slackers!

  Gay%20Dad

• I always thought Morgan was a serial killer, when not at work. Now I know why I hated him so while the show aired. BTW, I love reading and prefer it to television.

  compulsive%20reader

• It looks like a towel arround his neck and upper chest. Dunno what they'd be trying to cover up tho As creepy as this is, at least he's been caught.

• Yeah, that boy didn't seem right.

• I sytill liked the way he lifted Yigit into the air like he was a little boy...oh wait, never mind.

• He is a pathetic loser.

• He looks like a pedo. He probably developed his taste for chicken when he was in Brazil. Is he seriously married with children? I can't say I'm shocked. He *is* from Texas.

  http://www.bravotv.com/media/images/persons/morgan_wilson_full_0.png

• I am glad he got caught...especially because it will show people that a pedophile can be clean and presentable looking. Too many folks think you can identify them because they look scuzzy.

• Anonymous's list of people who accessed the website. Hopefully no DLers appear!

• Now I'd like to go back and watch all the clips of Morgan on the show to see if there's anything telling.

• Usernames are meaningless. Had someone published the real names we would know who these folks are.

• Last season's Just Desserts was full of batshit crazies. In fact, the world of pastry seems to attract emotionally unstable people in general. I remember seeing Morgan on a Dallas morning show after he was supposedly arrested and he acted perfectly fine. You would've never known that any of this had just happened.

• I want to hug the gay dads with the 8 year old daughter! Heck, you make me want to come over to cook and sew. What a fun family.

• He and Seth ("The Red Hots were for my mommy!") immediately bonded. Mentally unstable birds of a feather...

• R42, oh my god did you see some of those usernames?? DiaperDad, TightHoles, BabyLover. Fucking hell, I feel sick now.

• I remember he had that slow creepy monotone way of talking. And those eyes! Those creepy eyes! Another weird thing: does anyone remember the Asian chef who had a problem with Morgan. She was one of the Heathers. She would become insanely jealous anytime he won a competition. I always thought it was because she had a bit of a crush on him but he didn't return her feelings, so she came to hate him. I wonder how SHE feels after hearing about this.

• I wonder if he is allowed to be alone with his son? The names on that sight are awful. I'm glad he was caught.

• Heather H. hated him because he was an arrogant prick and because his skills were superior to hers.

• I agree, she did hate him for those reasons. But in the earlier episodes, you could tell she had a tiny crush on him, but he had no interest in her. We now know why.

• Wait. Why is this sick fuck not locked up?? Is he awaiting sentencing?

• Amazingly, someone posted the following on the DL board during Morgan's season: "I just voted Morgan for most likely to commit a violent crime and blame the victim! Woohoo!"

  Mia

• His touchy-touchy interactions with Yigit are now particularly creepy since Yigit has very boyish features and looks much younger than his age.

• To their credit, Yigit, Zac, Heather H., and Danielle haven't said a peep on Twitter or Facebook. (I wondered if Seth might, but he hasn't been on Twitter since July.)

• I'm not surprised. You could taste the perversion in his cookies.

  Gail

• "My 8 year-old always thought Morgan was creepy- guess she was right!" Your child has very good self-protective instincts. That's impressive.

• Ew, I was just thinking about that school challenge during season one of Top Chef Desserts, and how the chefs had to compete for either the glee club or the cheerleaders. There were little kids at that school, weren't there?? Morgan must've been as happy as a "kid in a candy store." I also remember how it was mentioned that all the little schoolgirls had a crush on Morgan. Double ick!

• You're a funny guy, Gail at R57. Well played.

• r59, I had forgotten about the schoolgirls having a crush on Morgan. Super creepy.

• Yikes, I remember that school challenge also. I wonder if he became a pastry chef as a means to lure children. Now, I'm starting to wonder if the son he talked about was really his son or if it was one of his victims that he *called* his son in order to not arouse suspicion.

• Ewwww R62. Maybe. Ick.

• He was accused of looking at others' images, not producing his own.

• [quote]He was accused of looking at others' images, not producing his own. AND???? Throw him in jail!

• Also keep in mind that every kid Morgan ever fucked got a phone call the next day and a Toys R Us gift card. He's not an animal!

  R64%2C%20keeping%20things%20in%20perspective%20for%20you

• toddlers? I think i'm going to vomit.

• How ironic would it be if this had happened to Morgan FairCHILD?

• R64= made the worse defense of a pedo that's ever been made in the history of the Universe. "He was only watching little children being forced to have sex!" Wow.

• Huuuuuuuuuge cock !!!

  One%20of%20Dallas%27%20Most%20Eligible

• I concur, R70!!!!!!

  One%20of%20Dallas%27%20Most%20Eligible%20Preteens

  One%20of%20Dallas%27%20Recuperating%20Toddlers

• [quote]I wonder if he became a pastry chef as a means to lure children. (Shudder.)

• R72, SO wrong.

• >It looks like a towel arround his neck and upper chest. Dunno what they'd be trying to cover up tho They were covering up his uniform from work with a Ritz Carlton logo on the pocket.... he was arrested at his workplace as he was shooting pastry cream into the Napoleons. Seriously. You can't make this stuff up.

• I usually spot pedos pretty easily. They have a certain look about them. It's soft, almost child-like. Maybe immature is a better word. It's like they develop this permanent expression because they're trying to look as non-intimidating as possible to kids. A new manager was just hired at work. When I saw him for the first time, for a brief moment, I thought he had gay face. Later, when I had some face time with him, I realized he looks like a pedo. He's married to a teacher and they have kids. I think he's a pedo, all the way.

• So, Andy Cohen's Bravo breeds another psycho in the space of a few months.. First a suicide and then a child molester. Disgusting.

• Wait, who was the suicide?

• Disgusting. I feel gross even reading the names on that site. And good question, who committed suicide?

• Suicide - the husband of that Real Housewife twat.

• [quote]who committed suicide? Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Taylor Armstrong's Husband Russell

• Was this piece of crap into little boys? little girls? or both?

• I'm ashamed to say that I thought Morgan was hot during his season of TCJD--there were some AMAZING shots of his feet.

• "He was accused of looking at others' images, not producing his own." That means you are creating demand and a market for child pornography.

• I have not seen this covered on any other news outlet. I wonder why.

• R66, I don't think R64 was defending the dude, but depending on what he did (collected pictures or touched children or raped children) depends on how he'll be charged. No one is excusing what he did AT ALL. It is a heinous disgusting crime that this guy committed. However, because he only had pictures of kids he might only be a low level sex offender. That is what I think, and hope, R64 was saying.

• "I have not seen this covered on any other news outlet. I wonder why." I think use of child pornography is more widespread than one would think, and in every strata of society. Heavy reporting on this incident and others would draw perhaps unwanted attention. I read an article on child pornography and users that were busted: doctors, lawyers, politicians, professors, etc.

• Orlando, from the current season, admitted that he likes to have his hands and feet handcuffed to the bed during sex. The world of pastry is a sick and depraved place.

  Kerry%20Vincent

• I live in Dallsa and am shocked that this is just NOW coming to light when he was arrested almost a year ago. I find that still to be quite odd. Our city has had several child porn scandals involving teachers, polictical igures and stuff like that always gets reported with a quickness. One thing is for sure, Morgan's culinary career is OVAH in Dallas, no matter what the outcome of his court appearance. No one will hire him in this town.

• [quote]I usually spot pedos pretty easily. They have a certain look about them. It's soft, almost child-like. I don't think that really describes Morgan.

• Admit it, though, most of you would have really loved to have seen Morgan hittin' that tasty little Yigit from behind.

  Baroness%20Bomburst%20of%20Vulgaria

• Willy Wonka was a pedo

• [r91] and ...?

• R77, blaming Andy Cohen for this is ridiculous. I mean, come on.

• I agree with you R95. The regular non-cable channels hate cable TV because they are kicking their asses in ratings. I extremely rarely watch regular TV and I was just goofing off one day channel surfing. Then I came upon Entertainment Tonight, major eye roll. They had a program about Taylor's husband's suicide, and right away this phony baloney boring gossip show along with the various others I noticed said, has cable gone too far?! Reality shows on everything from cooking to women getting into fights! now someone committed suicide as a result of these programs. I was thinking, uh? right! good one! All of these non-cable looser stations had the Fear Factor and other shows like that long before Bravo with people eating worms and doing disgusting things. The regular stations are so bad and predictable at least with cable you have a wide variety to choose from. BTW, who the hell watches this boring crap like Entertainment Tonight? They are like the Friendster of TV along with the other dull gossip shows and other programs that are on the regular stations.

• If he lands in jail he's a dead man. Pedos are the lowest of the low and often killed by other inmates.

• One time I was watching one of those shows that count down crazy moments in court, and they had a clip with this asshole who had killed a teenage boy and buried him under a sidewalk. They went to put the guy in the adjacent holding pen attached to the court (every criminal was having their turn to go before the judge, I think they were scheduling hearings or something). Anyway, they put the dude in the pen and not one minute later the prisoners all swarmed the dude and started beating the living shit out of him, the guard posted outside the door and many others came to break up the melee, but not before that guy good and bloody. It was great to watch this prisoners serving some justice upon a child murderer.

• r85, there was a big article, plus photo, in Friday's NY Post TV pages (10/21/11). And the idea at r64 was that he wasn't accused of molesting anyone, including his own child.

• There were whispers about his arrest during the opening of Tiffany Derry's (Top Chef Season 7) uptown Dallas restaurant 'Private Social' last month. People were asking why he wasn't in the event since he was part of Bravo's Top Chef family. I guess someone finally dug up records which explains why it only came out recently.

• Morgan was always judgemental of the queer contestants and their behavior on TCJD. And all along this fucker was the one with the major psychological problems! Asshole!

• R99..you mean he wasn't caught molesting anyone. If he's looking at kiddie porn, and has a child himself...do the math. Let's please try not to make excuses for pedos, it's sickening.

• I'm so surprised that the liberal media has ignored this story entirely.

• R103, what the fuck are you talking about? I just did a Google News search for Morgan Top Chef and came up with stories covering this in: NY Daily News, Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood Reporter (with a link to "all 82 news articles") as well as ABC News, Miami Herald (and "all 57 news articles").

• I hate associating with heterosexuals who feel uncomfortable with gay people, like Morgan did. They usually have some problem of their own. Just like he does. Now he'll be some dude's bitch in prison. The lowest of the low. Just like he deserves.

• So If I was on the show with him, I'd be super pissed because you can bet shows with him will not be re-run.

• According to a commenter at another site: [quote]Collin County requires everyone in a mugshot wear a grey towel so as to not show the attire the person was arrested in. Sometimes witnesses will pick who they think is the perp based on what he or she is wearing or tattoos on the the neck, etc. The towel is the great equalizer.

• 56-year-old William Blankinship, a TV editor who worked on TLC's 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' and other family-oriented reality shows, was arrested Oct. 21 on child porn-related charge

• ...

• Apparently he's still awaiting trial after all this time. The last report online was at the end of last year.

• Is he under someone's protection? Has he shared info about knowing other pedophiles or being part of an undergound pedophile network? Do these court cases usually move that slow ahead?
