A trial got underway Tuesday for a former youth pastor from Canaan accused of sexually abusing a young girl.
28-year-old Lucas Savage is charged with unlawful sexual contact.
He was co-director of Youth Haven Ministries when arrested last March.
Savage says nothing sexual happened between him and the girl.
His wife at the time, they are now divorced, said she never witnessed any sexual abuse, and often was asleep when Savage and the girl were together.
Court documents say the abuse took place at Savage’s home, sometimes with his wife in the house.
