BANGOR, Maine — The jury-waived trial of a former Greek Orthodox priest on sex charges will be held next week at the Penobscot Judicial Center.
Adam Metropoulos, 52, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual abuse of a minor, one count each of possession of sexually explicit materials and violation of privacy.
His trial before a judge is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Monday and conclude Tuesday. A judge has not been assigned to hear the case, according to the Penobscot County District Attorney’s Office.
Metropoulos remained Wednesday at the Penobscot County Jail unable to post bail of $50,000 cash or $100,000 surety.
The former pastor at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Bangor was arrested Sept. 15 for 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.
