The Boston Catholic priest collared for stalking talk show host Conan O'Brien apologized Tuesday and left court with little more than a slapped wrist.

The Rev. David Ajemian, 48, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after prosecutors withdrew more serious charges of aggravated harassment and stalking, punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

The plea allowed him to avoid trial. He was ordered to stay away from the comedian for two years.

"I regret my behavior that caused concern to the people that I was trying to contact," Ajemian said outside Manhattan Criminal Court. "I recognize that what I did was disorderly."

Accompanied by his parents yesterday, the priest admitted that he sent letters, postcards and packages to O'Brien's New York home, to his NBC studio and to the comic's parents. The deliveries started in September 2006, and didn't end until he was arrested during a taping of NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" at Rockefeller Plaza in November.
