DJ Found Guilty Of Molesting Kids

A former DJ and singer known for performing at local events and bars was found guilty in relation to the sexual assaults of five boys.

Louis Charles Aiello, 58, of Penndel Borough, was found guilty by Judge Diane Gibbons Wednesday on numerous charges, including rape of a person less than 13 years old, corruption of minors, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, and related offenses, during a waiver trial that started Tuesday at the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown Borough.

A waiver trial, also known as a bench trial, means that a defendant and prosecutor agree to waive a jury trial and have a judge decide.

Aiello was accused of sexually abusing five boys between 1993 and 2010. A sixth boy said Aiello exposed himself to him.

Those who lived near Aiello told a reporter last summer that Aiello often had minor boys at his property and had in the past invited neighborhood boys over.

Aiello carried out assaults at homes in Bensalem Township and Penndel Borough, authorities said.

Last June, Aiello was arrested for sexually two boys. More victims later came out after media attention on the case.

In October, District Attorney Matt Weintraub praised the victims for coming forward. He said he was “grateful and in awe of their courage to come forward to speak their truth against this predator.”

Also on Wednesday, Aiello was found guilty in a child pornography case.

In court papers, police said they found child porn on a laptop computer and thumb drive taken by investigators during a search warrant execution at Aiello’s home last year. The kiddie porn featured both boys and girls.

Aiello was returned to the Bucks County Correctional Facility and his bail was revoked after Gibbons handed down her verdict. He has been locked up since his arrest last June.

Falls Township and Penndel Borough police investigated the case with the Bucks County Detectives.
