Guilty Plea at Fundamental Facility
WYFF out of Greenville, South Carolina reported the guilty plea of Michael Dewitt Morgan after pleading guilty to four counts of assault and battery and burglary. Evidence showed Morgan went into the Magnolia Manor nursing home undetected and unsupervised on Feb. 25 and March 17 and inappropriately touched several residents. Magnolia Manor is owned and operated by the Fundamental Long Term Care Companies. Morgan was sentenced to 15 years suspended to seven years followed by two years probation. Morgan will also be placed on the sexual offender registry.
The allegations included Morgan entering a male resident’s room at Magnolia Manor Nursing Facility on Ansel Street, and touched the patient’s genitalia. Police said that Morgan also went into a female resident’s room and told the woman that he was there to “check her,” and fondled her breasts. Greenville police said Morgan sexually fondled three women and two men at the Magnolia Manor nursing home.
Sgt. Jason Rampey says Morgan worked for a company that provided services to nursing homes or their residents. That company name has not been released.
