4 More Boys Accuse Bucks Co. Man Of Sexual Abuse

PENNDEL, PA — A Penndel Borough man already accused of sexually assaulting two boys now faces additional charges after four more alleged victims have come forward.

Louis Charles Aiello, 57, has been in Bucks County Correctional Facility since June, when he was accused of sexually abusing two boys from the time they were 14 years old. On Thursday, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office announced he is facing new charges claiming he sexually abused four other boys, in Bensalem and Penndel, between 1993 and 2005.

In the new charges, Aiello faces felony counts of rape of a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child less than 16 years old, statutory sexual assault, incest an aggravated indecent assault.

He also faces felony and misdemeanor counts of corruption of minors, indecent assault and indecent exposure. A new arrest warrant was filed in court for Aiello on Thursday and he has a preliminary hearing scheduled in all six cases on Oct. 30.

Prosecutors had said in June that they suspected Aiello had more victims.

"A few months ago, we made a public call for any additional victims of this defendant," said Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub. "It’s bittersweet, but we got what we asked for.

"I am sad that there are indeed additional victims who are now the basis for this new criminal complaint against this defendant, but grateful and in awe of their courage to come forward to speak their truth against this predator."

In June, Aiello was accused of abusing a boy from 2008-2010, from when the boy was 14. That abuse happened in Penndel and Falls, according to prosecutors.

He also was accused of sexually assaulting a second boy from 2008 to 2010, again beginning when the victim was 14. The assaults happened frequently, typically at Aiello's home, prosecutors said. They say he met the boy while working as a DJ at a wedding the boy attended.

One of his new accusers spoke to detectives less than a week after the June charges were announced, prosecutors said. They say the boy was 10 years old when he was abused by Aiello in either 1993 or 1994.

That abuse took place in Aiello's former home in Bensalem, the DA's office said, when he instructed the boy and his 14-year-old brother to take a shower with him.

The second new accuser came forward in July, telling investigators he was sexually assaulted by Aiello several times between 1999-2005. Most of the time, it happened at Aiello's home in Penndel, prosecutors said.

That boy was between 7-13 years old at the time and considered Aiello "a father figure," prosecutors say.

A third boy spoke with detectives days later, saying he was 8 or 9 when Aiello tried to sexually assault him in 2004 or 2005. That boy said Aiello walked him to a bedroom, put on a cartoon and then stripped naked, according to prosecutors, before the boy left the room..

The fourth, the DA's office said, spoke on Sept. 9, saying he was 7 years old when Aiello first sexually assaulted him in 1994. The assaults continued for years until the victim was 13, prosecutors say.

That boy allegedly told detectives that Aiello showed him pornography before assaulting him, the DA's office said.

In June, Aiello was arrested along with David Charles Hoffman, 60, of Bristol Township. Prosecutors said at the time that, in one case, Aiello and Hoffman sexually abused the same boy.
