Ada County Sheriff's Office

Bradley Grant Stowell was re-arrested Tuesday and booked into the Ada County Jail.

BOISE - A former Boy Scout camp counselor who admitted molesting at least a dozen boys is back in custody.

Bradley Stowell was released five weeks ago after serving three years of his two-to-14 year sentence for a probation violation stemming from his 1997 arrest on charges in Eastern Idaho.

He was picked up by Idaho Department of Correction Probation and Parole officials just before noon Tuesday in Boise.  IDOC spokesperson Jeff Ray tells NewsChannel 7 that Stowell was in possession of a computer that had the capability to access the Internet.

“He did not have permission to have a computer – period,” Ray said. 

It isn’t known if Stowell had actually accessed the Internet.

Ray says another condition of the 36-year-old’s parole was to get a job – which he has not done.

Stowell was released from prison June 2nd despite a recommendation from a hearing officer that he's still a risk and should remain behind bars.

He will next appear before the parole commission to decide if the violations have merit – and decide if he should be returned to prison.  He has been booked into the Ada County Jail on the violations, where he is being held without bond.

The Stowell molestation cases have had far-reaching effects, with the Idaho Legislature passing several laws championed by the family of the abused brothers to boost sentences and expand victims' rights.
