East Haven police officers arrested Christian Lorig, 31, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, following a report that he sexually abused a minor.

Police said that on Wednesday, July 31, a parent in East Haven reported that Lorig allegedly sexually assaulted her child. The parent stated that her child approached her and was able to describe alleged sexual encounters with Lorig in detail.

It is unclear how long the sexual abuse went on, though it may go back several years, officials said. Lorig also has a pending case involving alleged sexual assault of a different family member. He was taken into police custody while he was in court for the previously alleged assault.

Lorig was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor and fourth-degree sexual assault. He is currently being held in lieu of a $75,000 bond and is scheduled to appear back in court on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

The East Haven Police Detective Bureau is asking anyone who may have had a similar encounter with Lorig to contact them by calling (203) 468-3827.
