Adam Metropoulos, originally from Saginaw, has been arraigned in Bangor, Maine for possessing child pornography and photographing a woman without her permission.

Metropoulos, who is 52-years-old, is a priest at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Bangor.

Police said they began investigating when a woman told them that she thought she had been photographed or recorded without her permission.

He is currently being held on $10,000 bond.

According to the Bangor Daily News, Metropoulos has been suspended from “all priestly duties” until the case has been resolved.

The paper, who ran an extensive background piece on Metropoulos back in 2002, says he moved to Maine from Saginaw in 1990 to teach at a high school there.

Metropoulos was a graduate of Saginaw Valley State University and went on to work at Dow Chemical. He later left Dow Chemical in order to pursue a doctorate from the University of New Hampshire.

In 1990 became a high school chemistry teacher, only to enter the seminary in 1997.
