Community members said Saturday that they were shocked and saddened to
learn that a local youth ministry director allegedly sexually abused a
young girl at his home in Clinton. Lucas Savage, 37, co-director of Youth Haven Ministry on Easy Street, is
charged with unlawful sexual contact and was arrested Friday by state
police.
“I trusted him with my daughter,” said Kristine Rice, a Canaan resident who said her 11-year-old daughter used to attend ministry programs at Youth Haven. Savage was also her daughter’s soccer coach through the Canaan Community Sports program, Rice said.
