COLONIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – A local, former priest, who was caught recording a woman on his cell phone while she was trying on clothes in a fitting room, learned his fate Wednesday night.
Adam Egan was sentenced to three years probation as well as time spent in rehab.
Around 3:40 p.m. on December 23, 2015, Egan attempted to take a video recording of a woman in the changing room of a Salvation Army in Latham. He pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Unlawful Surveillance in the Second Degree in May.
Supporters, including fellow priests, were in attendance at his sentencing.
“A lot of people in things like that, on an allegation or even a conviction, will walk away from him,” Egan’s defense attorney Steve Coffey said. “But the Episcopal Church has been very solidly behind him.”
