GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- A Piedmont man has now been charged with molesting five people at a Greenville nursing home.

Fifty-six-year-old Michael Dewitt Morgan is charged with lewdly touching patients in their rooms at the Magnolia Manor nursing home.

Greenville police say there were three female and two male victims of the attacks March 17 and Feb. 25.

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.

Magnolia Manor administrator Jane Owings says police were contacted after an intruder entered the facility March 17. Owings says security has been increased at the home.

Morgan is charged with five counts of burglary and four counts of assault and battery. It wasn't clear if he has an attorney.
