BANGOR, Maine — The suspended Greek Orthodox priest arrested in September on charges that he allegedly possessed child pornography and surreptitiously photographed a woman taking a shower in his bathroom remained Wednesday night at the Penobscot County Jail even though a judge lowered his bail earlier in the day.
Superior Court Justice Ann Murray set bail for Adam Metropoulos, 52, of Bangor at $50,000 cash or $100,000 surety, according to the Penobscot County district attorney’s office. In September, District Court Judge John Lucy set bail at $100,000 cash or surety.
Murray lowered the amount of cash bail at the request of Metropoulos’ attorney, Marvin Glazier of Bangor.
Metropoulos owns property in the Millinocket area, according to a previously published report.
Metropoulos has been held at the jail in Bangor since his arrest Sept. 15, when he was charged with one count each of possession of sexually explicit material, a Class C crime, and violation of privacy, a Class D crime.
He has not entered pleas to those charges because he has not yet been indicted by the Penobscot County grand jury.
