BANGOR, Maine — The former priest at St. George Greek Orthodox Church was indicted Tuesday by the Penobscot County grand jury on four counts of sexual abuse of a minor, one count each of possession of sexually explicit materials and violation of privacy.
Adam Metropoulos, 52, of Bangor was arrested Sept. 15 for allegedly possessing child pornography and for surreptitiously photographing a woman taking a shower in his bathroom.
A subsequent investigation led the Penobscot County district attorney’s office to seek charges alleging the sexual abuse of minors.
Metropoulos is expected to be arraigned Dec. 3 at the Penobscot Judicial Center.
The number of victims was not available immediately after the grand jury handed up indictments.
The grand jury, which usually convenes on the fourth Wednesday of the month, met Tuesday due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Metropoulos remained Tuesday at the Penobscot County Jail unable to post bail of $50,000 cash or $100,000 surety.
