One of mankind's most despicable crimes is sexual child abuse, and one of the most prolific pedophiles of them all is Dean Schwartzmiller. No one knows how many children he has molested, but some authorities reportedly think his victims number into the thousands.
That he could do such a thing would seem to be a condemnation of our criminal justice system, inasmuch as he has been arrested and imprisoned multiple times, but has always been released to strike again.
Schwartzmiller's luck ran out, however, in 2005, when he was convicted for abusing two boys and was given a 152-year prison sentence. Unless he manages to escape, this time he is there to stay.
His sorry record of arrests began in 1970 and, punctuated with prison stays, continued until 2005, at which time police found a grisly diary that detailed what Schwartzmiller, then 64, had done to a mind-boggling number of children.
