BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A former Greek Orthodox priest charged with sexual abuse of a child has been convicted on all four counts.
A judge delivered the verdict Tuesday against 52-year-old Adam Metropoulos. Sentencing will be in a couple of weeks. Metropoulos had already pleaded guilty to child pornography charges.
The trial began Monday 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.
