Dean Schwartzmiller is thought to be one of the most prolific serial child molesters in the United States. His victims locations cover a span across numerous places, including Washington, Idaho, Mexico and Brazil. Investigators studying notebooks he kept filled with information on his victims believe that the 1200 pages contained in them, along with a 456 page memoir provide clear evidence that he has assaulted hundreds of boys as far back as 1969- at one point believing that he could easily have had as many as 30,000 victims.

Today, Dean Schwartzmiller was sentenced to 150 years in prison:
Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller, a child molester with convictions in several states over three decades and a knack for avoiding prison, was sentenced Monday to 150 years to life for sexually abusing two boys when they were about 11 years old.
Schwartzmiller, 65, shackled at the wrists and wearing a red jailhouse jumpsuit and using a cane, did not speak before his sentencing in Santa Clara County Superior Court on 11 felony counts of child molestation and one misdemeanor charge of child pornography possession.
Judge Edward Lee said that despite Schwartzmiller's legal savvy in getting some previous charges dismissed, he will spend the rest of his days filing appeals from a prison cell.
"For all that above-average intelligence and charm, I have a couple of faults (with you) — an English teacher might call them tragic faults," Lee said. "You have no empathy for your victims; that's not particularly unusual. And you cannot see yourself as others see you."
