BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A former Boy Scout camp counselor who acknowledged abusing dozens of youngsters in the 1990s is out of prison and living in Utah.

The Idaho Falls Post-Register reported Wednesday that Brad Stowell was released June 13.

Department of Correction spokeswoman Teresa Jones says Stowell must abide by both states' parole guidelines.

Stowell has had a history of violating his parole.

Following his 1997 arrest and guilty plea to molesting two boys, Stowell was imprisoned in 2005 for a violation.

He was released in 2008, but was back behind bars five weeks later for violating parole. An officer found a laptop computer with Internet access in his Boise apartment.

Stowell was a camp counselor at Camp Little Lemhi in eastern Idaho where he admitted to molesting as many as 24 boys.
