LAS VEGAS — Police said late Monday they had arrested Chester "Chet" Arthur Stiles, the man accused of videotaping himself while raping a 3-year-old girl.
Las Vegas police Sgt. John Loretto confirmed the arrest but declined to elaborate. Loretto said police would provide details at a news conference late Monday.
Stiles, 37, had been the focus of a nationwide manhunt since police identified him as the man who raped and sexually assaulted a girl in a homemade videotape that surfaced last month in the rural Nevada town of Pahrump.
The girl was found with her mother in Las Vegas on Sept. 28. Now 7 years old, she has been described as happy and healthy, with no memory of the 2003 encounter with Stiles.
Authorities had sought the public's help in finding Stiles, who was wanted on state and federal warrants in a case in which he was alleged to have groped a 6-year-old girl in 2003.
Police were also looking into an allegation that he had sexually assaulted a young girl in 2001.
Police say they had received hundreds of tips about Stiles, who they had called dangerous and possibly armed. Stiles had previously been arrested on charges including assault, battery, resisting a police officer, auto theft, leaving the scene of an accident and contempt of court, authorities said.

Did this kind of stuff happen in the 50’s and 60’s but not get reported?
I shudder to think that Chester Molester’s lawyers will try to convince the judge to cut him slack since his victim has no memory of the incident.
More than any other recent case, this one demonstrates weak sentencing laws from bleeding heart judges. At the time he was violating the little girl, he should still have been serving hard prison time.A judge in my neck of the woods finally admitted to a reporter that until his sister was robbed at gunpoint, he had spent years letting armed robbers off with the lightest possible sentences. Once the harm to his sister hit him in the gut, he started imposing maximum sentences (much too late a bedside confession to help previous victims, of course).
It's hard to fathom the full extent of harm liberal judges have perpetrated on American citizens!

Electric chair would be fine, providing no water is used under the skull cap. (recall the movie ‘The Green Mile’?)
Probably. Human nature is still much the same as it was then. In the 1960s they only had blood typing available, not DNA testing. And the freaks didn’t have video cameras to film themselves commiting crimes, so there wouldn’t be that evidence. The chances of convicting a man for raping a three year old would have been low. Parents would know this, or be told this, and choose not to press charges in more cases than nowdays.
On the other hand, it would have been a lot easier to get some private justice back then, too.
The chair is too good for this *i*c*
This actor gives another reason to support capitol punishment.
Too bad he didn’t resist arrest. I suspect that if the coppers were certain that there were no witnesses, he might might have resisted.
“A judge in my neck of the woods finally admitted to a reporter that until his sister was robbed at gunpoint, he had spent years letting armed robbers off with the lightest possible sentences.”
You know, people have to ask why a supposedly highly educated judge would let criminals off with the lightest possible sentences? The most likely answer would be that they are liberals. But that defies explanation. Liberals are truly sick in the head and should not be in any position of authority.
“Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we were put on this Earth to overcome.”
Social restraints were much stronger then. Paris Hilton would never have been a celebrity in the 1960’s. Remember in the 1950’s you couldn’t say “pregnant” on TV. Risque behavior that is the staple of sitcoms these days was simply not tolerated.
Of course, we’ve become hysterical about children, with the infamous child abuse witch hunts of the early eighties. Somewhere between perves putting samizdat child porn on U-tube and the McMartin school witch hunt, there’s a sane balance.
I think you’re right. Civilization has declined. Innocuous symbols of that decline are tattoos and body piercings. Many of today’s youth look exactly like Jack London’s descriptions of South Pacific island savages.
Less innocuous is the decline in judicial sanctions against crime. Liberal judges reach out to criminals with love and understanding, and in response, criminals go stark raving insane with lust to commit more crimes of ever increasing brutality, which inspires judges to reach out with deeper love and greater understanding... and so on, and so on.
There was a time in this country when the rapists was hanged for rape. IMO it is time to do so again especially when the victim is a small child.
I don’t know why this sort of heinous crime would be contained to the beginning of the 21st Century only.
Three words: Dukasis appointee Judge Maria Lopez.
Horton, while dressed as a woman, used a ruse to lead an 11-year old boy to an abandoned warehouse where he forced to the boy to simulate sex acts after holding a screwdriver to the child's neckDuring the sentencing phase of the trial, Suffolk County District Attorney David Deakin who had asked Lopez to give Horton an eight to ten year jail sentence, tried to protest her decision to sentence Horton to house arrest and five years' of probation. Judge Lopez, who was angered by the presence of members of the media, proceded to upbraid the prosecutor as she suspected he had alerted the press. During her outburst, she angered members of the victims family by referring to the case as a "low-level" offense. Judge Lopez's decision also angered residents of the Mary Ellen McCormack housing development in South Boston where Horton would serve his house arrest.
It wasn’t. But the “root causes” people will try to make us believe it is.
If you’ve read “Lives of the 12 Caesars”, you know that this kind of behavoir is as least as old as civilization. The Victorians were right, however, in believing that social restrains reduce, - reduce, not eliminate - the worst kinds of deviancy.
That’s why perves vacation in Thailand.
One of the biggest failures of the Republican Party in the late 20th and early 21st centuries was and is the failure to make it crystal clear to the American people how the whole example of Willie Horton is an example of how wrong the liberals can be on issues of crime, punishment and journalistic integrity. The Willie Horton ad was fair and justified. The decades of attacks against the ads are proof of how evil the liberals are. The silence of most Republican is proof of how untesticled they have become.

Personally, I like this idea:
Suspend him from the ceiling (face down), with a fine wire wrapped around his “package”. Tie the other end of the wire - with about 2 inches of slack - to the ceiling. As long as he can “pull his weight”, he keeps his package. Once he sags and garottes himself into the “sopranos”, let him bleed out.
If he survives, then hang him.
It’s what scum like him deserve, once they’ve had their day in court and have been duly convicted.
Maybe the “compassionate” judge will put him in general population at prison. I understand they just LOVE to play with child molesters.
