A wedding DJ from Penndel Borough has been accused of sexually abusing several more boys.

Louis Charles Aiello, 57, was charged in June with sexually assaulting two boys a number of years ago. At the time of his late spring arrest, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub asked anyone else who may have been a victim to come forward.

On Tuesday, Weintraub’s office confirmed four more alleged victims have come forward:

The first victim spoke to detectives less than a week after the June news conference. The victim said he was 10 years old when he was abused by Aiello in either 1993 or 1994 in Aiello’s former home in Bensalem. The victim was with his 14-year-old brother at the time when Aiello instructed the boys to take a shower with him. In the shower, Aiello performed a sex act.

The second victim spoke to detectives on July 17. The victim said he was sexually assaulted several times by Aiello between 1999 and 2005, most of the time in Aiello’s Penndel home. The victim was between 7 and 13 years old at the time of the assaults and said he had considered Aiello a “father figure.”

Detectives spoke to another victim days later, on July 21. That victim said he was 8 or 9 years old when Aiello attempted to sexually assault him in 2004 or 2005 at Aiello’s home in Penndel. That victim said Aiello walked him to his bedroom and put on a cartoon. While the victim was watching the cartoon, Aiello asked if he could get changed and then stripped naked in front of him. The victim immediately got up and left the room.

On Sept. 9, detectives spoke to a fourth victim who said he was 7 years old when Aiello first sexually assaulted him in Aiello’s home in 1994. The assaults continued for years until the victim was 13 in 2000. The victim said Aiello frequently showed him pornography before assaulting him.

From the June charges, authorities said one of Aiello’s victims said the two met in 2001 through a friend of the DJ’s son. Many of the assaults happened at Aiello’s Penndel Borough property where he often brought by another male named “Bobby” and instructed the victim to “camp out” with Bobby and Aiello while performing and partaking in sexual acts. One of the assaults happened at the boy’s Falls Township residence, police said.

“A few months ago, we made a public call for any additional victims of this defendant,” Weintraub said. “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.”

Neighbors of Aiello reported that the adult man often had what appeared to be minor boys over his property and had in the past had invited neighborhood boys.
