Pedophile may have 36,000 note entries of sex acts

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A convicted pedophile may have chronicled sex acts with children in 36,000 notebook entries over three decades as he moved across the United States, hiding his identity, police said on Friday.

The handwritten coded records were logged on more than 1,000 pages in seven notebooks that police seized at the home of Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller in San Jose, California, which he shared with another convicted child molester.

"A lot of them like to document their acts," said Detective David Gonzalez, referring to pedophiles. "But the scale, I've never seen anything like it or heard of anything like it."

Authorities suspect Schwartzmiller, 63, had been abusing children for at least 30 years, moving from state to state and using aliases to conceal his identity as a convicted child molester.

Schwartzmiller was paroled from prison in Oregon in September 1996 after serving a little more three years following a 1993 conviction on three counts of third-degree sodomy, according to the state's prison system.

San Jose police suspect Schwartzmiller may also have molested children outside the United States, authorities said. "We have reason to believe he was extradited from Brazil to New York," Gonzalez said, adding police suspect he had traveled to Mexico.

The notebook entries surprised experts who interview and evaluate accused child molesters because they are detailed and well organized.

"What is different here are the number of youngsters, presuming the names refer to youngsters, and the extent to which they are cross-indexed and categorized," said Dr. James Missett, co-director of Stanford University's Center for Psychiatry and the Law.

"It's just monstrous in its proportion," Missett added. "Thirty-six thousand is an awful lot."

Wait a minute. That means this guy would've had to have sex with a different child EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 98 years.

He's the 'Wilt Chamberlain' of pedophiles.

`If ever there was a case for the death penalty.
Castration would be just fine..for starters .........
The figures seem unreal though ..30,000 kids? Impossible really...

[Riverman94610]

There was a record of this monster's court appearences.Numerous arrests and even convictions and the usual liberal,soft on crime judges giving this cretin mere slaps on the wrist.
AND,surprise of surprises,his only really long sentence was overturned by the NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS!
This walking demon should have never seen the light of day since his first conviction in 1970.

[Moral Hazard]

While this guy is obviously a serial predator, the sheer impossibility of molesting 36,000 children leads me to believe that the diary does not reflect reality. It's probably just a collection of his sick fantasies.

He's the 'Wilt Chamberlain' of pedophiles.

Damn funny...but still wrong, just wrong....

;o)

[thoughtomator]

The numbers are too large to be plausible. Did this guy really molest anyone at all or has he been walking around fantasizing and writing his fantasies in a notebook?

[postaldave]

i didn't know neverland ranch could that many people.

[paudio]

Interestingly, not many people notice the figure you just mention. If he did five kids everyday, it still takes about 20 years to accomplish, or if 2-3 kids per day, it takes about 40 years. And he needed to to it consistently without losing a day.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Fantasizing was my first guess when i heard the story, but some of them need to be checked out. Seems like a blending of fact and fiction is his warped mind.

[ncountylee]

Can't help laughing so I now am worried about the PC Police.

[Grut]

Some people will do anything to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.

[Conservatrix]

Maybe he should team up with Jackson; I am sure he could proide him with pleny of leads.

I wonder if the guy isnot just sick but very creative....36 thousand does not compute...

[This Just In]

I disagree. The report does not specify 36,000 sex acts with different children. He could have molested several children each day.

Apparently his sick, evil, fantasies were played out using real children. According to the report aired, the authorites have recieved hundreds of phone calls from possible victims, and the information has just been released. 30 yrs.? Who knows where some of his victims are now, if they're even alive.

[pickemuphere]

Gee, and he looks like such a nice old man...

[F16Fighter]

Dr. James Missett, co-director of Stanford University's Center for Psychiatry and the Law [said,] "It's just monstrous in its proportion...Thirty-six thousand is an awful lot."

Gee, it's a good thing we have psyche professors and lawyers to straighten out for us exactly what's "monstrous."

[TheOtherOne]

They found a six foot server of kiddie porn. You all should not be expressing disbelief at the numbers, but at the fact a human could even molest one child. Police have not claimed he molested 36,000 kids. And many names are repeated in his index of sickness.

[dfwgator]

Next thing you know those professors are going to point out that Hitler really wasn't a very nice guy.
