An organization that supports people sexually abused by priests wants the supervisor of a convicted Greek Orthodox priest in Bangor to be ousted.

54-year-old Adam Metropoulos is serving 6-and-a-half years in prison for sexual abuse of a minor after he was found guilty last year.

He was the head St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Bangor when he molested an alter boy there.

Members of the group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests are calling for Greek Orthodox Chancellor Theodore Barbas of Boston to be removed.

They say he was complicit or negligent in placing Metropoulos in a position with children.
