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.
