BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) -James McCoy Taylor, a singer, songwriter, and former reality TV contestant has pleaded guilty to charges connected to the assault of a 19-year-old Blinn College student he met last year at Northgate.

Taylor, 38, of Katy, entered guilty pleas Wednesday in a Brazos County courtroom to charges of Assault Causing Bodily Injury and Unlawful Restraint. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service, a $750 fine, $350 in court costs, anger management classes, and ordered to have no contact with the victim. Taylor was also banned from the Northgate Entertainment District as part of his punishment.

Taylor was arrested in August 2023 following an investigation by police. According to an arrest report obtained by KBTX, Taylor met the student at a bar in College Station’s Northgate district in April 2023. The two went back to a condominium in Bryan, where the woman told police she became uncomfortable and tried to leave.

The woman told investigators that after the two kissed, Taylor’s demeanor shifted, becoming “very serious and intense.” She said he frightened her with the look on his face, prompting her to text a friend from a bathroom and order an Uber.
