LAS VEGAS -- The mother of a little girl sexually assaulted as a 3-year-old in an explicit homemade videotape is so angry with Chester Stiles that she would kill him if she could. That's according to the woman's lawyer, Jerry Donohue. He said the mother's not granting direct interviews.Donohue said the woman's relieved Stiles is in custody, but disappointed that he didn't keep his promise not to be taken alive. He added that if Stiles got the death penalty "she's the one who would be willing to pull the trigger."He said he did not know if the family was going to file a civil suit against Stiles at this time, but the legal process the family is in is long and drawn out.Stiles is currently in isolation at the Clark County Detention Center. He was arrested Monday night by Henderson police during a routine traffic stop. He is currently booked with 21 different charges, ranging from sexual assault to lewdness with a minor.Officers from Nye County, where the sexual assault case originated, have also expressed a relief at the capture of Stiles."We are happy that Chester Stiles has been apprehended," Sheriff Tony DeMeo said. "Congratulations to the Henderson Police Department on making the arrest. We are proceeding with the investigation on our end."Donohue said the girl is now a 7-year-old second-grader with no memory of any molestation. But he said she knows that with all the medical tests and police interviews she's undergone, there is something's going on around her, but she is not suffering any after effects at this point.Stiles is expected in court Wednesday morning for an arrest warrant hearing.Stay with FOX5 News or refresh fox5vegas.com for continual updates to this story.
