CLIFTON PARK– A local priest accused of inappropriate conduct with an underage girl makes his first court appearance this morning.

James Michael Taylor, known to many as Father Michael, was arrested back in April after police say he had physical contact with a 15-year-old Saratoga County girl.

Police tell us that the two met when Taylor was serving as Deacon and Youth Minister for the Corpus Christi Church in Clifton Park. Taylor has since been ordained and now serves at Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Parish in Schenectady but is on administrative leave.
