BANGOR, Maine — The former priest at St. George Greek Orthodox Church pleaded not guilty Wednesday at the Penobscot Judicial Center to 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 indicted by the Penobscot County grand jury on Nov. 25.
Metropoulos was arrested Sept. 15 after 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 a minor.
Michael Roberts, deputy district attorney for Penobscot County, said last month that there was one male victim who was 15 years old at the time the alleged abuse took place, between the summer of 2005 and the spring of 2007. The priest knew the victim through the church, Roberts said.
