A former priest who served four years in prison for molesting two teenage girls is back behind bars for violating terms of his parole.

Mark Campobello, 43, will remain in prison until July 8 despite a minor violation of terms of parole.

Jorge Montes, of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, said the state Department of Corrections authorized Campobello to take a trip involving two stops. He left and returned within the allotted time. However, Campobello made five stops, instead of two, a violation of his parole.

The violation occurred just two months after the former Aurora and Geneva priest was released.

Campobello was imprisoned in 2004 after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl between January and May 1999 while he lived at the rectory of St. Peter Church in Geneva.

He also pleaded guilty to molesting a 15-year-old girl while she was a student at Aurora Central Catholic High School between November 1999 and March 2000, while he served as assistant principal at the school.

When Campobello was released on Feb. 13, he was scheduled to be on parole for four years and had to register as a sex offender.
