A Schoharie County man is accused of sexually abusing boys he met at his church.

State police arrested 51-year-old Jonathan Luce of the town of Jefferson. They say he engaged in sex acts with three different boys at his home over the last five years.

Troopers say he met the boys through a religious group and would create opportunities to be alone with them. The victims ranged in age from 12 to 17 years old.

Luce is charged with second-degree criminal sex act, which is a felony. He's also charged with second-degree sexual misconduct, second-degree sex abuse, and endangering the welfare of child – all misdemeanors.

Luce lives at 152 Deer Path. We wanted to talk to him, but the home is tucked behind a load of no trespassing signs down a long driveway in the woods.

State Police say Luce turned himself in at the Princetown trooper barracks on December 8th with his lawyer. He received an appearance ticket and was let go. He hasn't yet been arraigned at the Jefferson town court and therefore we have no court documents outlining police allegations.

State Police couldn't give us Luce's attorney's name, nor would he tell us the name of the church where Luce met these boys.

Police were tipped off in late September by another adult in the church. Luce wasn't related to these kids. He'll be in town of Jefferson court on January second. If you have anymore information on Luce or other possible victims, please give State Police a call.
