SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A former Roman Catholic priest in Puerto Rico has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of lewd acts.

Floyd McCoy Jordan was accused in part of harassing a 14-year-old with calls and text messages from 2013 to 2014. McCoy had been a priest in the Monserrate Sanctuary in the western town of Hormigueros.

The ruling was issued Thursday.
