Former Maine gubernatorial candidate and prominent Democrat donor arrested on child porn charges
A two-time Maine gubernatorial candidate, and prominent political figure and Democratic donor, was released from jail Saturday after making bail following his arrest last week on child porn possession charges.
Eliot Cutler, 75, was arrested by the Maine State Police on March 25 at his Brooklin home, a police spokesperson told Fox News. He is charged with four counts of possession of unlawful sexually explicit material of a minor under 12.
He was released on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at a Hancock County court arraignment on May 3.
Warrants were executed on two of Cutler’s homes earlier in the week. The counts correspond with crimes authorities said Cutler committed from December through March. – READ MORE
