TACOMA, Wash. — A wealthy Bonney Lake, Wash., pilot who used money, alcohol and manipulation to molest more than a dozen boys has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Weldon Marc Gilbert, who worked as a pilot for UPS, was sentenced Monday in Tacoma by U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle.
In a sentencing memo, prosecutors wrote that the 49-year-old Gilbert remains "incapable of real remorse" for the damage he did to at least 17 boys as young as 10.
Gilbert tearfully apologized during the sentencing hearing. He earlier pleaded guilty to production of child pornography, transporting a minor across state lines for illegal sexual activity and obstruction of justice.
Under the plea agreement, a helicopter, two cars, a float plane, a boat and some property belonging to Gilbert will be forfeited and sold, with the proceeds placed in a fund for the victims
 
I'm not trying to stand up for child molesters...

But why are they siezing the property?

According to that article it was "part of the plea deal" and the proceeds split amongst his victims.
 
The good news is that his sentence won't be for 25 years. He'll be lucky to make it to his 2nd anniversary in prison.
 
He might as well just shoot himself now.. I would love to see the video of him being raped with a broom handle by at least 10 fellow inmates then beaten to death.

Everyone deserves a second chance EXCEPT terrorists and child molestors.

Justice served except for the poor kids that have to live with the mental scars for the rest of their lives
