Girl on sex tape found safe, authorities say

? A young girl who was seen being sexually assaulted in a homemade videotape was found Friday and is safe with relatives and sheriff’s officials, authorities said.

“She looks like a very happy 7-year-old girl,” Nye County sheriff’s Detective David Boruchowitz said at a news conference late Friday. She was 3 when the tape was made, he said.

Chester Arthur Stiles, who was previously being sought for questioning, is now considered a suspect but remains at large, Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo said.

Stiles has tenuous ties to the family through friends, Boruchowitz said.

The crime took place in Las Vegas, where the girl was found with her mother, DeMeo said. The girl’s mother was cooperating with the investigation, he said.
