Chester Stiles

When AMW sat down with Tina Allen, Chester 'Chet' Stiles' ex-girlfriend, she helped to paint a fuller picture of one of the most wanted men in the country.  Tina spoke of Chester Stiles' exploration of his sexuality with S&M and bondage and that he frequented Las Vegas sex parties.  Tina described Stiles as more of a voyeur than a participant, but claimed that Chet had been seeing a dominatrix in Pahrump, Nev.  She also believes that he spent time with a woman named "Susan" in San Diego, Calif. and he has ties to Arizona.

Tina also spoke of Stiles as a Lothario of sorts; a great lover who went from woman to woman.  She also says that Stiles was living with lots of women but stayed with her family on and off for the last ten years.  She claims he would sometimes disappear for months and then show up without warning.  Tina explains that he would even break into their home, sometimes by kicking the door down. 

Tina Allen told AMW that Stiles told her that he was molested as a child.  She also claims Stiles is estranged from his 16-year-old son.  According to Tina, Stiles made money brokering marijuana for major rock bands passing through Nevada through a friend who is a local production coordinator. 

Tina Allen told AMW the last time she saw Chester Stiles, it was the beginning of September of 2007.  She says that his appearance had changed and he no longer looks as he does in his mug shot.  Tina claims Stiles' hair is now much longer, he's gained weight, and he no longer wears a mustache.  She also reports that he may be travelling with a pregnant Bullmastiff named 'Serenity'. 

The Search For Stiles

Authorities in Nye County, Nev. announced at a September 28, 2007 press conference that the underage girl at the center of a child sex tape investigation is safe and sound.  Cops now have a good idea of the man responsible.  Chester Arthur Stiles was named a suspect in the case involving the videotaped sexual assault of a girl.

Currently 7 years old, cops say the girl was only 3 when the video was made.  Cops claim that the girl's mother had no idea that the events on the tape had occurred, but detectives did say that Stiles was known to the "family through a several-tiered friendship connection."  Detectives stated that it was the hundreds of tips that helped them locate the young victim.

AMW has also learned that Darrin Tuck, the man who came to police, tape-in-hand, at the beginning of the case has been arrested after two days of evading authorities on a probation violation charge.  In an exclusive interview with AMW on September 28, 2007, two days before his arrest, Tuck denied having any involvement with Chester Stiles or the underage girl.  Furthermore, Tuck also denies having anything to do with the making of the tape. 

Just before he spoke with AMW, Tuck failed a polygraph test, according to his defense attorney.  In his interview, Tuck refused to talk about the polygraph test or the questions he was asked. 

Police: Second Girl Identified

Darrin Tuck

One day after Nye County Sheriff's Office announced that they found a second girl on a videotape containing disturbing images of sexual abuse involving another underage girl, AMW has learned that the second girl has been identified. 

In a press release, cops say that not only do they know the identity of the 10-year-old girl, they also state that she is safe and sound.  Authorities maintain that she was never harmed by the perpetrator, who is seen elsewhere on the tape committing sexual assaults against an adolescent girl.  Police also confirmed that the portion of the video containing the second girl was filmed in Nye County while the portion with the other three-year-old child was filmed in Las Vegas. 

In a press conference on September 26, 2007, police released additional information about the three-year-old girl.  They said that the lingerie the girl is wearing in the video was manufactured in the spring of 2003 by a company in North Carolina.  Cops were also able to determine when the video was made by the make of the television set which was manufactured in 2003. 

Horrific Child Porn Video Has Nevada Cops Asking Questions

When 26-year-old Darrin Tuck handed in a videotape to Nevada authorities on September 8, 2007, it began an investigation into an appalling case of sexual abuse against a child.  On the tape, authorities say, are disturbing images of an adult male sexually assaulting an adolescent girl. 

Detective David Boruchowitz told AMW that Tuck claimed he found the tape out in the desert, but cops believe that Tuck had the video for five months prior and was showing it to friends.  Police also say that the video does not have the wear and tear that one would expect it to have from desert exposure.

While Tuck isn't seen on the video, cops say that an adult male can be seen performing sexual acts on a young girl who was identified on September 28, 2007. 

Tuck was arrested on September 19, 2007 on felony charges of promoting child pornography and possession of child pornography.  He was released on bail, pending arraignment on November 26, 2007 in Pahrump Justice Court.  The top charge carries a possible sentence of life in prison.

Cops: Stiles Gives AMW Shout-Out During Arrest

Chester Arthur Stiles, the man at the center of a nationwide manhunt, was arrested on October 15, 2007 by two Henderson, Nev. officers during a routine traffic stop.  Cops tell AMW that Stiles was driving a white Buick Century without plates when they pulled him over for a registration violation.

That's when, cops say, Stiles admitted who he was and that he was tired of running.  In a press conference on October 15, 2007, Officer Mike Dye with the Henderson Police Department stated that the accused pedophile "said he was Mr. Stiles, the man wanted on America's Most Wanted."

Furthermore, Captain Vince Cannito with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department thanked AMW for "their efforts."

Henderson cops contacted Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who took Stiles into custody.
