Priest convicted of child abuse gets 6 1/2 years behind bars

BANGOR (WGME) — A priest who sexually abused a boy multiple times will spend six-and-a-half years behind bars. A judge sentenced Adam Metropoulos, 53, Monday.

He was a priest at a Greek Orthodox church in Bangor and was well known for his community involvement. Metropoulos sexually assaulted a then 15-year-old altar boy at his church in 2006 and 2007.

Metropoulos also secretly recorded a female relative taking a shower. The woman found the camera and that’s what lead to his arrest. Metropoulos also had hundreds of pornographic images on his computer, some which showed children.

In addition to his six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, he must also register as a sex offender for life once he’s released.
