A Utah psychiatrist who admitted to looking at ‘preteen modeling sites’ will get his license back

A Utah child psychiatrist who once faced accusations that he had viewed child pornography at work will be able to practice medicine again — but with restrictions.

The state’s licensing authority initially denied David Ford Wilson’s request to reactivate his license, according to a stipulation and order, because he had admitted during the application process last year that he had looked at “preteen modeling sites” while working at Ogden’s McKay-Dee Hospital.

Wilson had his license pulled by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) in 2013, after prosecutors charged him with more than a dozen felonies when child pornography was found cached in the hard drive of his work computer.
