QUEENSBURY — The former camp counselor and teacher facing charges for alleged sexual abuse of nine children who attended the camp where he worked is seeking dismissal of the charges against him, and has changed lawyers as the case progresses.

Dylan Stolz faces 27 charges in all, including 14 felonies, for allegations brought forward by nine alleged child victims that pertain to his tenure at Brant Lake Camp in Horicon.

He faces felony counts of sexual abuse and counts of sexual conduct against a child as well as misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.

Stolz is accused of fondling young boys in the camp’s bunk house and shower between the summer of 2015 and June 2018. The State Police investigation was continuing as of late last month.

Stolz, 51, of Little Neck, Long Island, had been represented by Glens Falls lawyer Jeffrey Matte, but Matte was recently replaced by lawyers James Knox and Julie Nociolo from the high-powered Albany-area firm of E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy.

The defense lawyers filed a pretrial motion last week, seeking dismissal of the charges, arguing there was insufficient evidence to support them and that the grand jury proceedings were legally defective for a number of procedural reasons. The Warren County District Attorney’s Office is contesting the dismissal motion.

Knox could not be reached for comment this week.

Warren County District Attorney Jason Carusone said the investigation by State Police was ongoing as of Wednesday.

Stolz is free on bail, pending further court action. He is due back in court before acting Warren County Judge Kelly McKeighan on Oct. 4 for a pretrial conference and possible ruling on motions.

McKeighan was assigned the case when Warren County Judge John Hall recused himself because of a prior conflict with Matte, and McKeighan will retain the case even though Matte has left it.

Stolz faces up to 7 years in state prison on each of the felony counts.

He worked as a counselor at the exclusive Brant Lake Camp, which caters to boys ages 7 to 15, for 33 years, and worked as an elementary school teacher in the Hewlett-Woodmere School District in Nassau County the rest of the year. The district placed him on “administrative reassignment” after his arrest.

The camp has had no public response to the allegations.
