A Nevada man has been convicted of videotaping himself sexually abusing a toddler. From CNN:
After deliberating for more than four hours, a jury convicted a Nevada man of 22 counts Tuesday for videotaping himself sexually assaulting a toddler, CNN affiliates report.
Chester Arthur Stiles, 38, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. He was convicted of lewdness with a child, sexual assault with a minor, attempted sexual assault with a minor and other related charges.
He showed no reaction as the verdict was read after more than four hours of jury deliberations, according to KLAS. Sentencing was set for May 8.
The crime triggered a national manhunt and search for the girl when the tape surfaced in 2007.

Jurors in Stiles' trial viewed the videotape, but the judge would not allow members sitting in the gallery to view it, and a screen was put up to block the jury box, said Michael Sommermeyer, spokesman for Clark County, Nevada, courts. Some members of the media were allowed to view the tape as well, but the judge did not want the reactions of reporters or the public to influence jurors, he said.
What a disgusting pig this guy is. Certainly he'll deserve more punishment than he gets.....I think he's sentenced today on it.....Definitely not the guy I'd want to post a bail bond for EVER!...And I've worked with some pretty disgusting criminals in the bail bonds industry...
