Incidents involve as many as 18 children, according to police
Fingerprints and handwriting samples link a federal drug agent to numerous attempted sex assaults on children, a Clark County prosecutor said Monday.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Dan Bowman also said that prosecutors have approved the filing of 34 felony counts against suspended Drug Enforcement Administration agent Steven Kinney.
He said a Metropolitan Police Department investigation indicates that Kinney, 42, is the man who approached children in the Las Vegas Valley, throwing rocks at them with attached notes requesting sexual acts for money.
"He would throw notes at kids saying, for example, `you are hot,' " Bowman said. The notes offered as much as $50 for sexual contact.
Bowman said police contend that an analysis of fingerprints and handwriting ties Kinney to the incidents, which involve as many as 18 children. Police have said children shopping in department stores reported that a man threw the rocks at their feet in at least three incidents.
Most of the children were between the ages of 9 and 14.
"In some cases, the notes would say meet me at the (nearby) Coke machines," Bowman said. "In some of the incidents, the kids, out of curiosity, would go to the Coke machines, and he would be there."
So far, no youths have reported actually engaging in sexual contact with the individual who tossed them the note-adorned rocks.
Kinney has reportedly hired prominent Las Vegas attorney David Chesnoff. Chesnoff's office did not respond to a voice mail message left Monday seeking comment.
Of the 34 charges to be filed against Kinney, Bowman said half are attempted sexual assault of a victim under 14. The other half consist of attempted sexual seduction of youths under the age of consent.
Bowman said the case was reported to authorities by Kinney's wife, whom Bowman also identified as a DEA agent.
"She was concerned he might be molesting her own children from a prior marriage," Bowman said. "We are now convinced that is not the case."
Bowman said authorities also became aware of the allegations against Kinney through parents reporting the rock-throwing incidents to police and school principals.
Kinney, who is on leave from the DEA, faces tentative arraignment Friday in Las Vegas Justice Court.
Bowman said a police investigation continues. Federal authorities are investigating, but it was unclear whether federal charges are pending.
Wrong decade. Kids think $50 is cheap change these days.

Otherwise they would have identified the sex of the children involved.
What would you call this guy? A pederast with a rock-throwing fetish? Definitely unusual.
Maybe the RJ hire a liberal. It sure does seem germane what sex this guy was after.
You'll be reading a lot about pediphillia. The liberals want it legal. It's the same route the homosexuals took.
Pray for the kids. This will soon be "normal."
