( CNN ) -- The man arrested for the videotaped rape of a toddler in Las Vegas , Nevada , will make his initial appearance in court Friday , a Clark County , Nevada , court official told CNN Tuesday . Authorities have not yet decided if Chester Arthur Stiles will appear in person or via video link . The judge will set a date for the arraignment at that hearing . Stiles , 37 , was taken into custody Monday night after a Henderson , Nevada , police officer pulled over the white Buick Century he was driving . A former girlfriend of Stiles ' said that , before the arrest , she lived in fear after going to police to identify the suspect after seeing enhanced photos from the videotape on the local news . `` I 've had my share of nightmares , '' Elaine Thomas told CNN 's Nancy Grace . Thomas said she screamed when she recognized the photos on television and had no choice but to contact police about the man she had thought was a `` weapons enthusiast '' with only a minor criminal record . Watch Thomas say how she felt when she saw the photos » . `` How could I not tell them who that man was ? That little girl suffered unimaginable things , and I knew for a fact it was him , '' Thomas said . The judge in the case will hold an administrative hearing Wednesday , but Stiles will not be present , Clark County court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said . Stiles was already being sought on an unrelated 2004 charge of felony lewdness with a child under 14 , Sommermeyer said , adding that authorities amended that earlier filing on October 4 to include 20 counts related to the videotaped rape , including sexual assault and attempted sexual assault . Jerry T. Donohue , the attorney for the girl 's mother , told CNN that the child on the videotape was younger than 3 when the abuse occurred . Henderson Police Officer Mike Dye said he pulled over Stiles ' car Monday night because it did not have a license plate and became suspicious when the driver gave him an expired California driver 's license with a photo that did not look like him . Dye said he and another officer , Mike Gower , questioned Stiles until he admitted his identity . `` He finally told us , 'Hey , I 'm Chester Stiles . I 'm the guy you 're looking for , ' '' Dye said . `` At that time , he said , ' I 'm sick of running . ' '' Dye said Stiles was calm and cooperative . Stiles , a resident of Pahrump , Nevada , was turned over to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and booked into the jail in Clark County , where he had been sought in connection with the videotape , which shows a girl being sexually assaulted . The girl , who is now 7 , was found last month after a nationwide search . The tape was given to authorities by Darren Tuck , who told police he had found it in the desert five months before handing it over . Because of the delay , during which Tuck allegedly showed the tape to others , he faces charges of exhibiting pornography and possession of child pornography . He turned himself in to authorities in Nye County , Nevada , earlier this month . Professionals have evaluated the girl in the videotape since she was found , and she appears to be `` healthy and fine and happy , '' her mother 's attorney said this month . The mother had not known her daughter had ever been victimized and was apparently oblivious to efforts to find her until late last month , Donohue said . `` A family friend called her and said , 'My God , you need to turn on the TV . I believe that is your daughter , ' `` Donohue said . Donohue said the mother recognized Stiles , a former animal trainer . The alleged abuse most likely occurred while the mother -- a single woman working six days a week -- was at work , Donohue said . Another former girlfriend of Stiles ' , Tina Allen , said this month she thinks she is the reason Stiles came in contact with the girl and is `` mortified '' by the allegations against him . `` He said he 'd been in the Navy and , you know , I was looking for a strong guy to represent to my sons what I thought they needed to be , '' Allen said . Allen said she took Stiles to a crowded apartment where her son and daughter lived . Also living in the apartment were a family friend and her daughter , the alleged assault victim . Todd Allen , Tina Allen 's son , said he recognized his old apartment from scenes in the video . E-mail to a friend . CNN 's Ed Payne contributed to this report .
