WA - Jet pilot, Weldon "Marc" Gilbert has right to view child *advertiser censored* he created in jail

[Nova]

Don't misunderstand me Nova-I was being ironic. Yes, I think confinement is the answer until something comes along that will ensure a permanent cure.

I'm very sorry, believe. I did misunderstand. There are a lot of strong feelings about crime and punishment here (and understandably so).

I'm wondering if they still have this creep locked up? I bet he's lawyered up with all the loot he has.

That's awesome, colomom!!!

I'm sure that he has a lawyer. Even if he couldn't afford one, he would be appointed one.

I haven't heard anything about bond or being released, but as another poster mentioned, he is a pretty obvious flight risk. I would be very surprised - given that fact and the allegations made against him - if he were able to bond out.

SCM lives in Atlanta. She probably thinks your icon is chawin' tobaccy.

Sorry, Believe, I took your post seriously, too. I'm a lock 'em up and throw away the key person.

Don't get me started on Southerners and farm animals...

I did go cow tipping once, but I was too drunk to be held acountable (and certainly too drunk to tip over a cow!)

Irish and I have even dirtier minds than that - can you guess what we thought colo's icon best described?

You dear, sweet, naive girl! When I mentioned Southerners and farm animals, did you really think I meant cow-tipping?

No - I was just trying to elevate the discussion! LOL! ( I know all about randy farmboys and longsuffering livestock....)

 

[Filly]

Yeah, so this guy got lots of loot. Posted mucho bail. His lawyer said it will come to light that the films are showing guys that only "look young" but are consenting adults. Four more boys have come forward I read elsehwere. But the guy is very contrite about things he has done. Really?http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/339539_pilotporn14.html?source=mypi

 

[Filly]

Here's a message we don't care how much money you have you can not be harming children. The rich pervert posted $1.5 million bail and walked regarding the State charges. The FBI then arested him. Grand jury indictment.http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/updates/story/210017.html

 

[Taximom]

Thank God for the FBI! The one boy seemed to indicate he was 11 when the abuse started. Maybe this guy was careful enough about not putting minors on video?

 

[Missizzy]

Whoa!! This is beyond belief. They sure are inventive, aren't they? I'd bet my lunch that Gilbert researched the law and figured that the best way to access these films was to act as his own attorney. My guess is that this creep thoroughly reviews these as he attempts to imprint them in his memory. Each viewing counts as yet another sexual assault, IMO.

Accused sex offender allowed to watch child *advertiser censored* in jail
July 12, 2011

"A strange quirk in the law is allowing an accused child rapist to watch child *advertiser censored* inside the Pierce County [WA] Jail. Marc Gilbert is accused of sexually assaulting young boys and videotaping the abuse. Under the law, defense attorneys are allowed to review material tied to the case. And because Gilbert has chosen to act as his own attorney, he has had unlimited access to the pornographic footage...."

and

"...Investigators seized from Gilbert's possession more than 100 DVDs containing 28 hours of pornographic footage. Some of the material was allegedly shot by the former jet pilot, and feature the young boys he's accused of luring to his home and exploiting.

and

"...We don't like it. We don't want to do it, but we have to follow the law. The fix here is to change the law," said Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. To make sure no other inmates get a chance to see the *advertiser censored*, Gilbert is made to review them in a separate room...."

Lake Tapps pilot accused in sex case also faces lawsuits from alleged victims
July 8, 2010

"Another alleged victim of Weldon Marc Gilbert has filed a lawsuit against the millionaire Lake Tapps-area pilot accused of sexually assaulting boys. He's the 20th person - most of whom are alleged victims - to file civil actions against the 49-year-old Gilbert...."

and

"...R.M. claims Gilbert would come to his home without invitation, appear before R.M. without clothes on and videotape him in embarrassing and humiliating situations. R.M. is asking for unspecified damages for emotional distress, pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and "a decrease in his ability to enjoy life," the claim states.

He's the latest victim to file suit against Gilbert, who's serving a 25-year federal sentence for sex crimes and faces more charges in Pierce County Superior Court. Nineteen others - 17 victims and the parents of two of the victims - have brought similar claims since 2007 and are asking for damages against Gilbert...."

and

Gilbert, a former UPS pilot, was arrested in October 2007 on child sex abuse crimes. Federal and state prosecutors have alleged Gilbert used money, the promise of flying lessons and other inducements to seduce more than a dozen boys and young men to take part in sex acts in his home, much of which he videotaped...."
