Alleged Serial Molester Pleads Not Guilty

Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that he molested two South San Jose boys.

Schwartzmiller, 63, appeared in a Santa Clara County Superior Court this morning. He is charged with seven felonies for allegedly molesting two South San Jose boys he met in December 2002. If convicted, Schwartzmiller faces a maximum of 105 years to life in prison.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin Nov. 16.

Prosecutor Steve Fein said the preliminary hearing would probably not contain a lot of evidence about the journals Schwartzmiller allegedly kept detailing thousands of molestation stretching back to the 1970s.

"It's going to focus mainly on the San Jose cases," Fein said.

Schwartzmiller's attorney was not available for comment.
