A disgraced South Carolina pastor was indicted this week and accused of harassing his estranged wife for more than a year before she died by suicide in 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of South Carolina announced Thursday.
“The defendant’s alleged actions were predatory, measured, and inflicted profound trauma to the victim, her family, and loved ones,” FBI Agent in Charge Kevin Moore told local news station WMBF.
John Paul Miller, 46, was indicted on charges of cyberstalking and false statements after federal authorities said he began sending “unwanted and harassing communications” to his wife, Mica Miller, 30, in November 2022 and committed a string of “harassing behavior” up until her suicide on April 27, 2024.
Among the alleged acts John Paul Miller committed were posting a nude photo of Mica Miller online without her consent, contacting her over 50 times in a single day and placing tracking devices on her vehicle.
“I know that she had complained to me that he would just show up randomly at places where he shouldn’t even know where she is, when she was having lunch with someone or whatever,” Regina Ward, the attorney representing Mica Miller’s family, told WPDE.
