(NEWS CENTER) — A former Greek Orthodox priest in Bangor has been sentenced to 12 years in prison with all but 6-and-a-half suspended.

A judge convicted Adam Metropoulos last month on four counts of sexual abuse of a child. He was charged after a former altar boy at Saint George Greek Orthodox Church accused Metroopolis of sexually assaulting him when the victim was a teenager.

The boy was staying overnight in Metropoulos’ home at the time.

Metropoulos had already pleaded guilty to child pornography charges and to secretly video taping a woman showering in his bathroom.
