COLONIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – An inactive Episcopalian priest pleaded guilty to charges that accused him of attempting to video record a woman in a store changing room.

Around 3:40 p.m. on December 23, 2015, Adam Egan attempted to take a video recording of a woman in the changing room of a Salvation Army in Latham. On Monday, he pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Unlawful Surveillance in the Second Degree.

Fellow priests were in court to show their support.

“They stood by him,” Egan’s attorney Steve Coffey said. “They understood e was wrong; understood he needed help. They are working with him.”
