Suspect in Child Sex Abuse Tape Remains on the Lam

Oct. 1, 2007 — -- Chester Arthur Stiles, the man who was captured on tape allegedly sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl, is still on the lam.

Today in a "Good Morning America" exclusive, Stiles' former girlfriend Tina Allen described him as dangerous.

"I know him to be very violent and he is not going down without a fight," she said.

Allen said that when the tape first hit the airwaves, her daughter Stephanie Allen instantly recognized the bedsheets and identified the victim and her mother.

Allen said she had introduced the victim to Stiles. She added that Stiles had exhibited no signs of being a sexual predator when she knew him.

"He deceived everyone. He played a good game, talked a good talk," Allen said. "He presented himself wholly as the family guy, the kind of guy a single mom would be looking for."

Allen said that Stiles played with children just as other adults did and that he did not stir suspicion. He also had an affinity for dating older women.

"Every woman I have any known him to date has been older than him," Allen said.

Allen said the victim, who would now be about 7 years old, has no memory of what happened to her.

"She's a lot happier," Allen said. "She's still got some adjusting to do. From what I understand she doesn't remember anything."

For now, Allen said she believes it should remain that way. She fears bringing up the incident to the victim and said that trying to get her to recall her abuse would harm her even more.

"Don't put her through more torture that she's already been," she said.

Also, Allen believes the child is not the only victim in the case. She said any person who knows Stiles has been hurt.

"Everybody who has ever met this man has now been victimized by this situation," she said. "This is a scar that is never going to leave. It's always going to be there in the backs of our minds torturing us from this day on."

Las Vegas police are continuing their search Stiles. Police say they have enough evidence to put the 34-year-old away for life.
