HOUSTON – A Pearland softball coach is charged after being accused of inappropriately touching an 11-year-old player, court records show.

Carlos Morgan, 59, is accused of having inappropriate contact with the child before and during batting lessons, officials said. Morgan was charged with indecent assault and was arrested on Thursday but has since bonded out.

According to the court documents, Morgan would pick up the girl and take her to batting cages at 5 Tool Sports Hitting & Training in Pearland.

“Quite frankly, I was flabbergasted, surprised, upset,” said facility owner Steve Jones. “Then, all of it turned to anger and disgust as you can imagine.”

Jones said Morgan frequently rented a batting cage at his facility. He said his facility is not the only location in Pearland where he trained young softball players.

“You would have never thought he would be that type of person,” Jones said.

The girl’s mother reported to police that Morgan kissed her daughter on the mouth and used his tongue on multiple occasions, per court documents. The alleged incidents happened in Morgan’s truck outside the batting cage facility.

Court records reveal the girl’s mother learned of the alleged abuse when one morning, the child was supposed to attend batting practice with Morgan and she told her mother she didn’t want to go. The mother told police she questioned the girl and that’s when she told her about the kissing.

According to court documents, Morgan would get upset if the child didn’t kiss or hug him back, bought her gifts and texted her “I love you,” and demanded a return text with the same.

When questioned by the police, Morgan admitted to kissing the chid but said he never used his tongue, per court documents. Police said he said he gave her a “peck” on the cheeks and lips.

According to court documents, Morgan also admitted to sending “I love you,” texts but not in a sexual gratifying, but as if she was his own child. He also said he bought her Christmas presents and other gifts.

One parent Kameca Coffey said she has known Morgan for almost a decade. He coached both her daughters.

She said Morgan had become more like a family member than a coach. His arrest came to her as a shock.

“I felt betrayed, I felt lied to, I felt stupid, I felt dumb. I felt… How could I put my baby in that situation? We trusted him,” she said.

Pearland Police Department spokesman Jason Wells said since the victim has spoken up, several more have come forward.

“Unfortunately, we’re talking a wide range from anywhere to nine years old to 17,” Wells said.

Wells also said investigators believe there are other victims since Morgan has coached since the early 2000s.

The Pearland Girls Softball Association released a statement after accusations against Morgan came to light:

“Due to recent charges filed against Carlos Morgan Sr., PGSA would like to state that although he is a batting instructor in the city of Pearland he does not use any facilities under our control and is not affiliated with PGSA,” the group wrote. “We take pride in our organization and your daughters’ safety is our first priority. PGSA requires yearly background checks and Safesport training for anyone currently involved in coaching.”

A “Survivor” contestant who was previously accused by another player of inappropriate touching was removed from the game, viewers learned during Wednesday night’s episode.

Dan Spilo became the first contestant to be kicked out of the competition without getting voted off in the CBS show’s nearly 40 seasons since its premiere in 2000.

In Wednesday’s episode, the last before the “Island of the Idols” finale, show host Jeff Probst approached the remaining contestants on their 36th day in Fiji, saying he had “to share some news.”

“So I just spoke privately with Dan, and I want to update you guys. A decision has been made, and Dan will not be returning to the game. He won’t be coming back to camp. He won’t be on the jury. He’s gone,” Probst tells the contestants, some of whom are given the chance to briefly react on camera.

“Dan was removed from the game after a report of another incident, which happened off-camera and did not involve a player,” a title card said at the end of the episode. No other information was provided, and CBS declined to comment further.

Probst also declined to provide more details in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Out of respect for privacy and confidentiality, I can’t say anymore,” he said.

“It has been an unprecedented season,” Probst said. “Complex social issues were woven into the game in a way we have never seen before.”

The removal of Spilo comes after a previous incident last month.

In the episode then, viewers were informed that the producers had met with each contestant and issued Spilo, 49, a warning after a female contestant, Kellee Kim, 30, expressed that she was uncomfortable with Spilo’s alleged inappropriate touching.

In that episode in November, two other female contestants express to Kim that they also have felt uneasy around Spilo, but later they admitted on camera that they were either exaggerating or fabricating misconduct allegations in the name of gameplay, which ultimately led to Kim being voted off.

The two other women issued statements after the episode aired apologizing for how they handled the situation, saying that, during filming, they weren’t fully aware of the seriousness of Kim’s accusations.

Kim, an MBA student, said in a statement Wednesday night that “CBS and Survivor were on notice of Dan’s behavior for the very first days of the game.”

“And, as Survivor fans know, shortly after I spoke up on camera, I was voted off the show,” Kim wrote. “I’ve continued to feel disappointed by how this pattern of behavior was allowed for so long.”

“While I wish many things had gone differently, I’m glad that my decision to speak up made a difference. What is most important to me now is how all of us — CBS, Survivor, other organizations, and all of us as individuals — decide to learn from this story and commit to take action,” Kim added.

Following Spilo’s removal, many on social media, including some former “Survivor” contestants and TV critics, chided CBS and the show for failing to discipline him sooner and for being vague about the reason he was ultimately taken off the show.

“Predators will continue to prey until they are stopped. This predator could have and should have been stopped long ago, but those in power made a choice not to stop him. Shame on you, Survivor,” former contestant Zeke Smith wrote on Twitter.

“The evasiveness of that closing title card on ‘Survivor’ tonight requires that one have faith in the ‘Survivor’ producers and their discretion in a way that ‘Survivor’ proved this season those producers no longer deserve,” Hollywood Reporter TV critic Daniel Fienberg tweeted.

Probst told Entertainment Weekly, “We have learned a great deal and it will inform our process and protocols on how to evolve moving forward. While we still want to maintain the competitive aspect of the game, above all, we want to ensure that all players always feel safe and respected.”

A woman who answered the phone at a number listed for Spilo told NBC News: “We don’t have any comment.”
