CLIFTON PARK — A Roman Catholic priest pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor endangerment charge and will not have to serve jail time.

The Rev. James Michael Taylor appeared in Clifton Park Town Court. He is to be sentenced in October.

Taylor was accused of engaging in physical contact and shared phone calls, text messages and pictures with a 15-year-old girl he met when he served as a deacon and youth minister at Corpus Christi Church in Clifton Park.
