State Political Icon Arrested on Heinous Child Porn Charges; Bail Set at Only $50K for the Rich Megadonor

A former two-time candidate for governor of Maine was arrested Friday on child pornography charges.

Eliot Cutler, 75, faces four counts of possession of unlawful sexually explicit materials, according to WCSH-TV. The charge is a Class C felony, meaning those in the materials were younger than 12 years old, Matthew J. Foster, district attorney for Hancock and Washington counties, said.

Police last week conducted a search of devices at Cutler's homes and found at least 10 more files, according to Foster.

Cutler was released on $50,000 bail on Saturday afternoon.

Two-time Maine gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler was arrested for alleged possession of child pornography, two days after search warrants were executed on his two homes in the state.

Hancock County Jail has released Eliot Cutler's mug shot following his arrest yesterday afternoon.

Cutler's bail terms included not having an internet-connected device or possessing sexually explicit material, state police spokesperson Shannon Moss said.
