Las Vegas NowHelp Nye County Identify Young Child Victim and Male Suspect
Darren Tuck says he found the videotape in the desert.
Male suspect wanted by Nye County officials.Nye County police want help identifying a young girl who is the victim of a disturbing crime. There is video of the girl is being sexually assaulted by an adult male.
"It is very disturbing, very disturbing. This young girl is being victimized by this individual," said Sheriff Tony Demeo, Nye County.
Police say they were given the tape by 26-year-old Darren Tuck of Pahrump who claimed he found it in the desert. After investigating, police discovered that Tuck had the tape in his possession for five months and showed it to other people before turning it over to police.
Tuck has since been charged with possessing and promoting child pornography.
"At least he had enough of a conscience to come forward. He didn't just throw it away and in that respect Mr. Tuck has some redeeming qualities," Sheriff Demeo said.
Police say Tuck is not the adult male individual in the video and if he did find the video in the desert, it may be difficult to discover the girl's identity.
"We want to rescue her from the situation she is in and someone out there is going to lead us to this girl," Sheriff Demeo said.
Anyone with information on either the girl or the man is asked to call the Nye County Sheriff's Office at 775-751-7000.
