A former youth pastor in Canaan accused of sexually abusing a young girl has pleaded not guilty.
27-year-old Lucas Savage, formerly of Clinton, is charged with unlawful sexual contact.
Savage was the director of ministries for the Youth Haven Ministry when he was arrested in March.
According to court documents, the abuse took place at his home, sometimes with his wife in the house.
Savage was indicted in July after the District Attorney says he rejected a plea deal.
Savage is free on bail.
