Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller, a 65 year old convicted child molester, kept records found in his California home that have led police to believe that the pervert may have assaulted tens of thousands of kids all over the world, including in New York, and could be one of the vilest predators of all time. His records indicate that he may have had hundreds of victims in five states, Brazil and Mexico over more than 30 years. Schwartzmiller, who has a record of molestation arrests and convictions stretching back to 1970, apparently used several aliases. He never registered his whereabouts as required with authorities, so his name did not appear on Megan's Law databases. He also appears to have gone by a number of aliases, including Dean Harmon and Dean Miller, to avoid having to register as a sex offender. A list of more than 36,000 mostly boys' names, complete with codes indicating how they were abused, was stuffed into seven binders filled with child pornography found at his home. Few entries on the list, which totaled 1,360 pages, included last names, but some were marked with such nicknames as "Cowboy Boy" and "Boy U of I." Officers said he lured the boys to his San Jose home with gifts, then showed them movies and videos before sexually assaulting them.
Police also arrested Schwartzmiller's roommate, Fred Everts, 34, and charged him with child molestation in San Jose.
Victims or anyone with information about Schwartzmiller are encouraged to call the San Jose Police Department's Child Exploitation Division at (408) 277-4102 or the San Jose Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP.
Schwartzmiller was sentenced on January 29, 2007, to 152 years in prison.
