Piers Morgan reacts to trolls sharing snaps of him with famous paedos and sex offenders

Piers Morgan has admitted he needs to be more clairvoyant as he hit back at trolls after being pictured with a string of famous paedophiles and alleged sex offenders.

Good Morning Britain host Piers shared five pictures of himself with a series of infamous faces to his 7.1 million followers on Twitter.

One picture he shared shows himself smiling and laughing with convicted rapist Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

And in another snap, he posted Piers is shown posing with paedophile pop star Gary Glitter.

Morgan is then seen sitting opposite Rolf Harris, who indecently assaulted teenage girls.

The TV presenter is also seen posing in black-tie with Max Clifford, who was convicted as part of Operation Yewtree.

And then Piers is seen alongside socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been denied being an accomplice to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Morgan wrote: “To all those kindly sending me this unedifying photo montage…….yes, I definitely need to work on my clairvoyant skills.”

It was liked more than 1,800 times, with his fans and critics flocking to the comments section.

One fan wrote: “The thing is Piers there could be a photo of you with Mother Teresa and people wouldn’t be so quick to share it.

“You can’t win with this crowd.”

Another follower added: “To be fair, I’m sure a lot of people have posed in photographs with them and regret it.

“Sad people feel the need to post ones with you.”

One wrote: “You were a newspaper editor and journalist, I’d be surprised if you didn’t meet these people.”

And another one joked: “I saw a picture of you with the Dalai Lama too. Scoundrel.”

Piers’ post comes after Weinstein’s dramatic fall was completed on Monday when a jury found him guilty of rape and sexual assault, leaving him facing up to 29 years behind bars.

However, the 67-year-old, who at the peak of his career was one of the most feared and influential men in the film industry, was acquitted on two more serious charges, which could have seen him sentenced to life in prison.

He was found guilty of criminal sex act for assaulting production assistant Mimi Haleyi at his apartment in 2006 and third-degree rape of a woman in 2013.

The jury found him not guilty on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, that could have resulted in a life sentence.

The verdict followed weeks of often harrowing and excruciatingly graphic testimony from a string of accusers.

The conviction was seen as a long-overdue reckoning for Weinstein after years of whispers about his behaviour turned into a torrent of accusations in 2017.

It gave rise to #MeToo, the global movement to encourage women to come forward and hold powerful men accountable for their sexual misconduct.

The jury of seven men and five women took five days to find him guilty.
