Chester "Chet" Arthur Stiles (born September 14, 1970 in Louisville, Kentucky) is an American criminal who gained notoriety after he appeared in video clips of himself raping and sexually abusing a girl who was three years old at the time. The video was made in 2003 but surfaced in the Nevada desert in 2007. Based in Pahrump, Nevada, both the FBI and the Las Vegas Police launched a nationwide manhunt which led to his capture. He was caught and appeared in court on October 17, 2007.

On May 29, 2009, Stiles received a sentence of 21 life sentences for 21 counts, with eligibility for parole after serving 140 years. During the sentencing, the judge remarked on Stiles' lack of remorse throughout the proceedings; he responded to the sentence with the claim that his prosecution "shows a child's virtue is more important than a man's life." He continued, "I incurred 21 life sentences for a non-violent act ... I wish the truth was more important."
Once he got to the Nevada Department of Prisons, he was classified (Offender ID Number: 1036868) and placed in protective custody for his own safety from the prison's general population inmates.
