Re: Democrat sex offender Eliot Cutler.

Eliot Cutler will make his first court appearance at Hancock County 
Superior Court in Ellsworth at 1 p.m. on May 3. The former attorney 
and two-time gubernatorial candidate faces four counts of illegal 
possession of sexually explicit material of a minor under 12 years 
of age.

He was arrested at his house in Brooklin on Friday, March 25 and was 
released on $50,000 bail the following day.

His arrest came after Maine State Police received a tip from the 
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that someone in 
Maine either downloaded or uploaded one illegal image. Authorities 
were able to trace that to Cutler, search his homes in Brooklin and 
Portland and make their arrest after sorting through some of the 
seized material.

Cutler’s attorney, Walt McKee, successfully motioned for the arrest 
and search warrants to remain under seal until Cutler’s initial 
court appearance.
