Chester the Molester was a comic strip by Dwaine B. Tinsley (December 31, 1945 – May 23, 2000), cartoon editor of the pornographic magazine Hustler.
Following the alleged religious conversion of Hustler founder Larry Flynt in 1977, the strip was briefly retooled as Chester the Protector,[4] a reincarnation of Chester who served to protect young girls from rape and seduction.
"[8] Tinsley was found guilty of five counts of child molestation;[9] He was convicted on January 5, 1990, and was sentenced to six years in prison.
[9][10][11][2] During his incarceration, he briefly continued dispatching new strips to Hustler from his cell to be edited by Edward Kuhnel.
[13] The prosecutor in the case ultimately decided not to retry him after he served 23 months.
