BANGOR, Maine — The trial of a former Greek Orthodox priest charged with sexual abuse of a child has started in Bangor.
The trial of 52-year-old Adam Metropoulos began Monday in Penobscot County Superior Court with testimony from a former altar boy at St. George Greek Orthodox Church who said he had been sexually assaulted by Metropoulos when slept at the priest’s home as a teenager. The man, now 23, says he often pretended to be asleep during the assaults.
Metropoulos has already pleaded guilty to child pornography charges.
Metropoulos’ attorney, Marvin Glazier, says his client denies any sexual contact with a minor.
