The entries contain first names or nicknames such as "Cowboy,'' and some of the names appear repeatedly. <br><br>"We know that according to these records, some of these children have been molested multiple times,'' police Lt. Scott Cornfield said at a news conference. "If any of these numbers are even close to accurate, then it is one of the most significant child molestation finds that we have ever encountered.'' <br><br>Schwartzmiller has a history of child molestation convictions dating to 1970 in Alaska, along with arrests in Oregon, Idaho, New York, California, Arkansas and Washington. His last conviction was in Oregon more than 10 years ago. San Jose police have not determined whether he is a registered sex offender required to check in with local police and appear on the state Megan's Law Web site. <br>more<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/06/17/MOLEST.TMP" target="top">www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/06/17/MOLEST.TMP</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
