A Bangor priest remains behind bars after police arrested him for possessing child pornography.

Adam Metropoulos, 52, is charged with possession of sexually explicit material and violation of privacy.

Metropoulos is the priest of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Bangor.

District Attorney Chris Almy says in 1983, Metropoulos was convicted of sexual assault in Michigan.

Bangor Police say their investigation started Saturday, after a complaint from a woman who had been staying at Metropoloulos’ house.

According to Sgt. Tim Cotton of the Bangor P.D., “On Saturday evening, we received information from an adult female that she had been staying at the Metropoulos residence, and while having a shower, she noted that there was a camera pointed towards her in the shower from a basket across the room. She exited the shower, retrieved the camera and also retrieved the memory card from the camera. She later confronted Mr. Metropoulos about why the camera was there, and then shortly thereafter, came to the police department and notified us on the activity.”

After searching his home, police say they found child porn on a computer. Police are still analyzing evidence and say and there could be more charges.

Metropoulos is being held on $10,000 bail and is due in court Wednesday.
