The former child protective caseworker and Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) employee who drew attention for promoting a Bangor drag show targeting minors appears to be behind an X account that has posted hardcore gay pornography.
The Maine Wire previously reported that Cameron Alexander Grover, 31, of Bangor, was headlining a drag show marketed by him as being for all ages, while employed at the DHHS in child protection services.
That report led the venue Grover said was hosting the event to cancel his appearance and claim they were not aware that Grover would be touting the lurid show for an under 18 crowd.
Posts from the X-rated social media account appear to show Grover engaged in videotaped sex acts during times when the state employee would have been working at his taxpayer-funded gig protecting at-risk kids.
He was employed by the DHHS as a child protective services caseworker in 2024 and seemingly remains employed by the state in a supervisory capacity.
The NSFW social media account was uncovered by X user TheUnquirer, who revealed that an individual with an identical appearance to Grover had posted the fetish content under the pseudonym Bangor Bear.
The Unquirer also uncovered an image appearing to show Grover, who describes himself as a former intern for the Maine Democratic Party, posing for a photo with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine).
The man featured in the Bangor Bear’s profile picture and content appears to match the physical appearance of the former child protective caseworker, including an identical tattoo.
The account, which has been active since June 2024, has an extremely graphic description in which the state employee admits being interested in public sexual exhibitionism.
“31-year-old bear from Bangor ME. Exploring being more open with my sexual urges and interests. Very into public/exhib, piss, cum, fisting, and roleplay,” said the account.
The extremely disturbing sexual content is publicly available on the social media page.
In 2024, around the same time the Bangor Bear account was active, Grover was promoted from a child protective caseworker to a “policy and training specialist/supervisor” job.
The Bangor Bear account’s prolific posting includes content published during normal government work hours.
On Thursday, June 5, 2024 at 12:26 p.m., a Wednesday, the Bangor Bear account posted, “Wanna watch me ride my 13inch long, soda can wide, hole gaper? go ahead. turn the sound up too.”
Many of the posts include extremely graphic videos or images showing the amateur performer engaging in uncensored sex acts, which The Maine Wire is declining to publicize.
Another post, published during apparent government work hours, at 3:03 p.m. on a Friday, stated: “Here’s me fucking/stretching my hole on my second largest dildo using my fuck machine.”
That extremely graphic post was accompanied by an even more graphic video showing what the so-called Bangor Bear described. The Bangor Bear also apparently made a habit of stopping on the side-of-the road to masturbate in his car, in seemingly public places.
That post was accompanied by an image of a man with his pants down in the driver’s seat of his car, apparently on the side of a public road.
The Bangor Bear account boasts over 2,700 posts. The account was active on Monday morning, but it was deleted shortly after The Maine Wire reached out to Grover via his state government email address to ask him for comment about posting pornography during government work hours.
Grover did not respond to The Maine Wire’s attempts to contact him.
Grover also has a history of disturbing posts from his personal account, including reposting statements appearing to advocate violence against minors and seemingly admitting to serious mental illness.
One particularly disturbing post Grover reposted said, “the soft spot on a baby’s head is for the bubble tea straw.”
That post was dated after Grover first received his social worker’s license in April 2022, giving him authority to care for vulnerable children on behalf of the state.
In one post, Grover apparently admitted to suffering from bipolar disorder, depression, and “mania,” and talked about punching God.
He has also seemingly supported claims that all white people are racist, and accused anyone flying an American flag outside their home of racism.
The Maine Wire reached out to the DHHS, asking whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Grover, or whether it is acceptable for him to post sexually graphic material while employed by the state.
The department did not respond.
The Maine Wire also reached out for comment from Pamela J. Mayo-Watson, the state employee listed as the sponsor for Grover’s social worker’s license, but she likewise did not respond.
As the DHHS has been promoting Grover through the ranks of child protective services despite his history of pornographic and violent posts, Maine’s Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS) has only grown worse.

In 2023, a damning report from Walk-a Mile-in-Their-Shoes (WAMITS) — a non-profit founded by former Democratic state senator Bill Diamond showed failures in the state’s child-welfare system that have caused a significant uptick in deaths among vulnerable children under care of the state.
In 2007, seven children under state child welfare supervision died, in 2022, that number was 28.
That report also found that caseworkers were given insufficient training, and were forced to rely on a “dysfunctional” computer system.
The more recent Child Welfare Ombudsman’s 2024 Annual Report, released in January, found that significant problems persist in the state’s child welfare system.

“The systems that surround child welfare are currently unable to support children and families in the way that they should,” the Ombudsman states. “Most urgently, finding a safe place for a child who is unsafe with parents is an unsustainable drain on staff resources.”
Over half of the child protective cases reviewed by the Obudsman in 2024 had substantial issues with “deviation from best practices, adherence to policy, or both that had a material effect on the safety and best interests of the children, or rights of the parents.”
Serious issues with the OCFS led 145 child welfare caseworkers to pen a letter of no-confidence in OCFS director Bobbi Johnson, demanding that she be replaced.
Gov. Mills denied the allegations against Johnson, and she remains as OCFS director.
