Washington state band leader back in jail in abuse case

A Tumwater, Wash., high school band director is back in jail on new charges of child sex abuse in Idaho.

Authorities say 38-year-old Timothy Andrew Kellis turned himself in after an arrest warrant was issued. As of late Tuesday he remained in the Latah County jail in Moscow with bail set at $50,000.

A preliminary hearing on the new charges, five counts of lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16, is set for May 8. A hearing on the previous charges, two counts of lewd conduct and one of sexual abuse of a child, has been rescheduled for May 15.

The case involves boys who say he fondled and performed oral sex on them at Camp Grizzly, a Boy Scout camp northeast of Moscow where he was a counselor last summer.

Kellis is the band leader at A.G. West Black Hills High School in Tumwater.
