In 2004 Bishop Demetri of the Antiochian Archdiocese entered a guilty
plea to a reduced charge of attempted fourth degree criminal sexual
misconduct. To be specific he “grabbed the breast of a North Carolina
woman seated next to him at a slot machine in the Turtle Creek Casino
outside Traverse City” and was “highly intoxicated” (see here
for more) as was evident from the closed circuit video that captured
the event. He was drunk, he was gambling, and he sexually assaulted a
woman.
Bp. Demetri was relieved of his duties and then suspended (it should be noted that the Antiochian Archdiocese recently deleted their pronouncement on this issue from their website, but a cached version is available here). In 2008 he was “restored as vicar of the Iglesia Católica Apostólica Ortodoxa De Antioquia México-Venezuela-Centroamérica-El Caribe in the Exarcado De El Caribe”(see more here). This was all covered on this blog some years ago (see here).
