New Child-Sex Charges Filed Against Bristol Twp. Man

BRISTOL, PA — A Bristol Township man already accused of sexually abusing a boy for more than a decade is facing new charges after a second victim came forward, according to prosecutors.

David Charles Hofmann, 60, was charged Thursday with statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors and indecent assault, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office announced.

According to the new charges, a victim told a Falls Township Police Department detective that Hofmann sexually abused him about 20 times when he was 14-15 years old. Most of the assaults happened in Hofmann's pickup truck and one happened at a storage facility on New Rodgers Road in Bristol Township, the victim said.

The victim spoke to detectives on March 31, the district attorney's office said.

Hofmann and another man, Luis Charles Aiello, 57, of Penndel, were charged in June with sexually abusing the same boy. Hofmann has been held at Bucks County Correctional Facility since his arrest on June 17 and is awaiting trial in that case.

According to prosecutors, Hofmann began abusing his original victim in 1995, when the boy was five years old, and the abuse continued until he was 17. The abuse happened primarily at the boy's home in Falls Township, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said.

The DA's office said that, during that time, Hofmann was a family friend referred to as "Uncle Dave" who lived with his victim's family several times throughout the 12 years of abuse.

Prosecutors say that, during a recorded phone call from June, Hofmann admitted to assaulting that victim several times as well as suggesting he sexually assaulted other boys. A court hearing is scheduled for next month in that case.
