 Dean Schwartzmiller, who authorities say could be the nation's most prolific child molester, vol3_iss44 was crafting a lengthy memoir about his sexual exploits with boys when he was arrested, according to police. http://msnbc.msn.com Schwartzmiller was arrested in May after police searched his home and seized seven journals which included more than 36,000 handwritten entries about boys, their descriptions and supposed sexual proclivities. More than 80 counts of child molestation have been leveled against Schwartzmiller over the past three decades, but he has only been convicted of nine counts, four of which were eventually overturned on appeal. Investigators say Schwartzmiller, who used several aliases and earned a living doing stucco work, repeatedly avoided trials and, even when convicted got out of jail or prison early. Despite his lengthy criminal record, he was not required to register as a sex offender. http://www.mercurynews.com
