ATLANTA — A pilot from Washington state was arrested in Atlanta this week on charges he sexually assaulted at least 20 boys at his home over a six-year period and videotaped much of the abuse.
Police and FBI agents arrested Weldon Marc Gilbert, 47, in Atlanta on Thursday and charged him with nine sex crimes, including child rape, child molestation and sexual exploitation of a minor. The Lake Tapps, Wash., resident and pilot for the United Parcel Service was in jail in Atlanta late Friday awaiting extradition to Washington.
Pierce County, Wash., sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said more charges are likely. Police are reviewing more than 100 videotapes and DVDs found at Gilbert's home, many of which contain "very disturbing graphic images," Troyer said.
"We just started looking through the tapes, and we've already seen 20 different victims," Troyer told The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. "Kids are crying out for help and in pain in some of the videos."
Mike Mangeot, a spokesman for the Atlanta-based UPS Airlines, said the criminal case is an "unfortunate situation" that has nothing to do with the company.
"It's a personal matter," he said.
Mangeot declined to say how long Gilbert had been employed at UPS.
Police believe Gilbert used a helicopter to give rides to some of the young boys, who range in age from 12 to 17, Troyer said. Afterward, Gilbert would take them to his house, get them intoxicated, tie them down, beat them and perform sexual acts on them with a tape recorder rolling, Troyer said.

Disturbing and sick.
Find a tall tree. I’ll bring a short rope.
We could learn a few things from the chinese criminal justice system.
He’s going to need a support group. How about the City Council of Philadelphia?
Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
Sorry, hanging someone ONLY represents crimes against blacks. Then again, I think this creep is white so go ahead ... Sharpton and Jackson won’t shake you down.
“Police believe Gilbert used a helicopter to give rides to some of the young boys, who range in age from 12 to 17, Troyer said. Afterward, Gilbert would take them to his house, get them intoxicated, tie them down, beat them and perform sexual acts on them with a tape recorder rolling, Troyer said.”
“Investigators began looking into Gilbert on Tuesday after two men reported they suspected their younger brothers were being molested by Gilbert.”
“A alleged victim, now 18, told police he was molested by Gilbert beginning in 2001 after his father died. The teen also gave police a videotape this week showing Gilbert abusing the alleged victim’s 12-year-old brother.”
Unbelieveably sick and depraved b*stard.
And lives within a 20-minute drive from where I sit. *shudder*
Yes, the more “tolerance” and “open mindedness” towards homosexuality and pornography will only result in more of this stuff. More child abuse, more broken families, more depression, more ruined lives.
And the band plays on.
GUILTY!
I've never been accused of not having a sense of humor, but there's a time and a place. This is not it:
"We just started looking through the tapes, and we've already seen 20 different victims," Troyer told The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. "Kids are crying out for help and in pain in some of the videos."
He's gonna make someone a beautiful prison wife.
Well once he’s convicted and sent to prison he’ll learn all about being the little guy on the bottom.
Ya sick puck.
Don’t drop the soap chubby!.....
“Gilbert’s neighbor across the street said that the man seemed friendly enough.”.......And what did you expect to see?, him chasing naked boys around your front yard you idiot!
Hang this waste of human DNA and bury him somewhere forgotten.
What can brown do for you?
Sounds like this guy is going to be part of the Universal Packing Service when he hits the can.
Just use that helicopter he used to give rides to his victims & toss him out of it.
.
If only UPS allowed their pilots to marry ...
now that was a good one. Sounds like they have plenty of proof, so hope he gets repaid plenty.
“Sorry, hanging someone ONLY represents crimes against blacks. “
Just speaking for myself, I think I’ll refrain from using the “n-word”
(n-ose), rope, or hanging on FR.
Seeing that the FBI now is so hypersenstive on the subject they’ll
investigate a FREAKIN’ MANNEQUIN in a city dump because it had some
r-pe around it’s neck.
“The FBI’s Cauthen said the agency has a specific directive that if
a noose is involved in a crime, aggressive action must be taken.”

He should be kept in jail forever. A danger to society.
One word: Skydiving
Now if she'd only checked the sex-offender registry...
...what's that?
Gee, I thought they were all on the registry. (/ sarc --but a lot of folks think that way.)
Try starting a thread here about putting some limits on porn and watch the sh** hit the fan.
bring back the death penalty for child molesters
