Here's the background to the case: From the Gene Files: Rocky Mountain News (Denver, CO) December 5, 2001, Wednesday:
A Colorado State Parole Board member was fired from his $77,928-a-year job Tuesday after a warrant was issued to search his home for child pornography.
Gov. Bill Owens said he fired Larry Jack Schwarz, 61, a former Republican state representative from Wetmore in south-central Colorado, after he learned of the allegations.
Custer County Sheriff Fred Jobe said the investigation began about three weeks ago when his office received allegations that Schwarz "might be in possession of pictures and material of sexual exploitation of children."
There are three alleged victims, all of whom were family members living in the Schwarz home when the incidents reportedly occurred, Jobe said.
Jobe would not identify the alleged victims, but said all now live outside of Colorado.
Schwarz, the father of five and grandfather of at least 16, could not be reached for comment.
Jobe notified the governor's office of his investigation and sought help from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, which entered the case Nov. 16.
No criminal charges have been filed against Schwarz, Jobe said.
The search warrant signed by Custer County District Judge Harold Taylor specified "any and all pornographic materials . . . containing photographs of or references to children or juveniles, letters, journals or diaries that could contain information about the sexual abuse or exploitation of any child or juvenile, financial records, bank statements, files or information related to any possible business interest in the child pornography industry . . ."
But both Jobe and CBI Deputy Director Pete Mang said there is no indication that anyone other than Schwarz is implicated.
"We don't know of any allegations outside the family, so we don't think we're looking at a predator or someone who would be a threat to the community or anything like that," said Jobe.
Jobe said the search of Schwarz's home began around 9 a.m. Tuesday and continued throughout the day.
Jobe would not reveal what if anything was found, saying the investigation is ongoing.
"It's a good-sized house and the things we're looking for could be in every nook and cranny," Jobe said. "It's probably going to go well into the night and we may have to go back again (Wednesday) morning."
Owens said he fired Schwarz for providing false information on his application for reappointment. Schwarz said on the application there was nothing in his background that would be "an embarrassment" if it became public.
Schwarz, served in the Colorado House from 1995 to 1997 when he quit in midterm. He was appointed to the parole board by former Gov. Roy Romer in August, 1997, and he reappointed in June, 2000, by Owens.
Schwarz was at the Capitol with his wife Tuesday morning when he was advised privately by Roy Palmer, the governor's chief of staff, that he was being fired.
Members of the governor's office and the state parole board will scrutinize Schwarz's actions to see if they show any pattern of abuse of his authority.
Parole board chairman Don Van Pelt says Schwarz could not have alone granted parole or leniency to sexual offenders since these cases require a vote of the entire seven-member board.
Van Pelt said Schwarz, who had served as the board's chairman, seemed to perform his board duties conscientiously.
"He was timely and prompt. He was where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be," Van Pelt said. He would not comment on the allegations against Schwarz.
At the time of his first appointment, Schwarz said he was grateful for the post since his legislative duties had cost him his job as a trucking company manager.
He represented House District 44, which includes Custer, Fremont, Pueblo and Teller Counties.
He won several awards and honors, including citations from the County Sheriffs and Fraternal Order of Police. During his first term, he listed "crime prevention and punishment" among his key issues.
The news of his dismissal and the allegations surrounding it stunned many of his former colleagues who still serve in the legislature.
"I served with Larry Schwarz and this is really shocking to me," said Sen. Dave Owen, R-Greeley. "I will back the governor because he apparently has evidence."
Sen. Norma Anderson, R-Lakewood, who has played a key role in tightening up sex offender laws in Colorado, was also surprised.
"Boy, you just never know where it is," Anderson said. "I guess we have another candidate for the sex offenders' registration."

I followed up with this story: According to the Denver media, the investigation into sex charges against Larry Jack Schwarz, a fired state parole board member, have expanded to include incest as investigators removed a computer and boxes of material from the home of Schwarz, 61, Wednesday in Wetmore, Colo.
An affidavit from a stepdaughter [Debbie Schwarz] alleged that Schwarz abused her between the time she was 4 and 18. She is now 43, and filed the complaint last month in Custer County. Schwarz has not been charged in the case. Custer County sheriff Fred Jobe said that two investigators are assigned full time to the investigation, which will take at least two more weeks.
"We're still gathering information," said Jobe.
TheDenverChannel first reported the story on Tuesday, when investigators began searching the Schwarz home and Governor Bill Owens fired the former state legislator. Both Denver dailies picked up the story Thursday.
The investigation has taken detectives to several towns in Colorado, Illinois and California. That's where a 25-year-old family member [Jewel De'Nyle] lives.
Gov. Bill Owens said that he fired Schwarz from his $77,928-a-year job because Schwarz gave false information on his application requesting reappointment to the board.
Owens said Schwarz told the governor there was nothing in his background that would be embarrassing if it became public. Owens said Schwarz failed to disclose the potential for allegations of wrongful conduct.
Owens said an initial review of parole hearings conducted by Schwarz found no irregularities but another review of all parole hearings involving sexual offenders before Schwarz was ordered.
Individual parole board members do not have individual authority to release sexual offenders and must get a majority vote of the board.
Schwarz served a term and a half in the state House, representing Custer, Fremont, Pueblo and Teller counties. As a legislator, Schwarz's agenda included crime prevention and punishment.
He was vice president and general manager of a trucking company in Penrose and had a ranch near Wetmore.
Schwarz was elected to the House in 1994 and left in his second term. He was appointed by former Gov. Roy Romer to the parole board in 1997 and reappointed by Owens last year.
