Steven Powell is scheduled to be released from prison on Sunday, March 23 after serving 30 months for 14 counts of voyeurism.
The Department of Corrections said Powell, 64, will live in Tacoma under the supervision of a community corrections officer who is part of a specialized sex-crime unit.
Powell will be required to wear a GPS locator for at least the first 30 days of his community supervision and attend a sex-offender treatment program. Powell will have to get permission to leave Pierce County and check in with the officer a minimum of two times each month. That officer will also conduct multiple field contacts each month.
The DOC said Powell has three days to register with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office as a sex offender. It’ll be up to the office to determine which level.
Powell is the father-in-law of Utah mother Susan Cox-Powell, who disappeared in 2009. His son, Josh Powell, was a suspect before he killed himself and his two children in an explosive house fire in 2012.
Steven Powell was convicted of voyeurism for taking photographs of two young neighbor girls as they used the bathroom in their home.
Powell started his prison sentence in June 2012.
The Department of Corrections said it has notified Powell’s victims and local law enforcement about his scheduled release date.
