A Bangor priest accused of possessing child pornography made his first court appearance Wednesday.
We also learned that he may also have had sexual contact with children in Bangor.
52-year-old Adam Metropoulos has been suspended from his duties at St. George Greek Orthodox Church after his arrest this week on child porn and violation of privacy charges.
The investigation began after a woman told police she was photographed while taking a shower at the priest’s home.
Penobscot County Deputy District Attorney Michael Roberts says they found child porn on a computer in the home and Metropoulos also admitted to having sexual contact with children in Bangor.
“During the context of this investigation, when the police interviewed him, he acknowledged that a few years ago he had touched a couple of teenaged boys,” said Roberts.
