Former Washington man jailed on child rape charges
A Las Vegas man who formerly lived in Washington was jailed Thursday morning on child rape charges that were filed in 2012.
Jon Edwin Stein, 53, lived on Woodland Avenue when the child rape allegations were first reported to Washington police. The charges that were filed in 2012 include rape of a child, rape, aggravated indecent assault of a child, indecent assault of an unconscious person, indecent assault without consent, furnishing liquor to a minor and two counts of aggravated indecent assault without consent.
The alleged victim, a juvenile girl, reported to police Nov. 14, 2011, Stein had sex with her without her consent, according to the criminal complaint. She reportedly told police beginning when she was 5, Stein touched her inappropriately, forced her to perform sex acts with him and forced her to have sex with him. The assaults continued for eight years until she was 13, the complaint said.
The girl told police the abuse stopped for a year, when her mother reportedly was told about the abuse, but Stein allegedly started sexually assaulting her again when she was 14, according to the criminal complaint.
Police said on Nov. 11, 2011, Stein allegedly gave alcohol to the girl and her friends. While the girl was impaired by the alcohol, Stein allegedly sexually assaulted her in the backseat of a car and described it to her the next morning when she woke up.
Police filed a fugitive warrant for Stein’s arrest in September 2012. It is unknown where Stein was arrested, but he gave a Las Vegas address to District Judge Robert Redlinger Thursday morning during his arraignment.
Stein was being held in Washington County jail on $100,000 bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. Dec. 20.
