A Bangor priest accused of sex crimes involving children was indicted by a Penobscot County grand jury Wednesday.

52-year-old Adam Metropoulos is charged with four counts of sexual abuse of a minor, possession of sexually explicit materials and violation of privacy.

He was suspended from his duties at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Bangor after his arrest in September.

Police say a woman staying at his home told them Metropoulos used a hidden camera to record her in the shower.

Prosecutors tell us the investigation revealed child pornography on his computer.

They also say he admitted to having sexual contact with children.

But Deputy District Attorney Mike Roberts says the charges against Metropoulos only involve one boy.

Roberts says the boy was 15-years-old in 2006 when Metropoulos is accused of inappropriately touched him over a nine-month time span.

Metropoulos has a previous conviction for a sexual assault in Michigan in 1983.

He remains in jail on $50,000 bail.
