A 30 year old priest with the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese has been arrested in Saratoga County on misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child.
Saratoga County District Attorney Jim Murphy says James Michael Taylor has been involved in an “ongoing pattern” of conduct with a 15 year old Clifton Park girl that involved physical conduct, text messages, phone calls and photos.
Murphy credits the girl and the Sheriff’s office with putting a stop to the cycle of abuse.
Taylor has been serving as the associate pastor of St. Kateri in Niskayuna.
Murphy says he met the girl while he was a deacon in Clifton Park.
