	Former CL Priest Violates Parole By David Fitzgerald Northwest Herald April 17, 2008 http://www.nwherald.com/articles/2008/04/17/news/local/doc4807171916b5b126386184.txt CRYSTAL LAKE A former Crystal Lake priest who pleaded guilty to molesting teenage girls is back in state custody after violating the terms his parole. Mark Campobello, 43, is not facing any new charges and did not commit any new crime, Illinois Department of Corrections spokesman Derek Schnapp said. Campobello pleaded guilty in 2004 to abusing two teenage girls while he lived in the rectory at St. Peter Catholic Church in Geneva and worked at Aurora Central Catholic High School. Campobello also served in the Crystal Lake area at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church from October 2000 to April 2001 and before that as a parochial administrator at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. He never was linked to any abuse while serving in Crystal Lake. The Illinois Sex Offender Registry lists Campobello's address as 6418 Vermont Trail, Crystal Lake. Campobello was released from prison Feb. 12 after serving three years and eight months at Illinois River Correctional Center in downstate Canton. Schnapp said Campobello was taken into custody Monday and was being kept in the Dixon Correctional Center for a "technical parole violation." Schnapp said he could not elaborate on the nature of the violation. Campobello will remain in custody pending a meeting with the prisoner review board, which will decide his punishment, if any. The board set certain rules that Campobello was supposed to follow as part of his four years of parole, but those rules are confidential.
