The ex-wife of embattled Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) sued him and his attorney on Wednesday over the release of an explicit photo of the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, believed to have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people.Court documents allege a nude photo of Miller’s young daughter was included in a trove of evidence he gave to his attorney, Aaron Minc, to release to the public via a Dropbox link earlier this month, asserting it would prove his innocence in the face of allegations he abused his ex-wife and daughter. “Intent on publicly trashing his ex-wife, he disregarded his daughter and recklessly failed to review the folder he shared with her intimate image, before sharing it with the world,” the lawsuit reads. “He just didn’t care, as long as he could try to convince people that the sheer volume of material in the folder should cause them to doubt the many abuse allegations, from many quarters, against him.” Miller and Minc didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. The federal lawsuit is the latest in a bitter dispute between Miller and his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), who accused the representative of being an abusive father and husband, alleging he held a gun to her head and injured their daughter, claims that are being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. Miller, running for re-election in Ohio’s 7th congressional district, has refused to abandon his campaign, despite pressure from Sen. Moreno and other Republicans, and has passed the deadline to drop out.

The lawsuit states the explicit photo was sent to Miller in a text message by Emily Moreno, who took it to document a yellow bruise on her daughter’s shoulders after she was in his custody. (The girl was later diagnosed with a broken collarbone, court records state.)The image remained online for anyone to download for about 23 hours, with Miller’s lawyer admitting he failed to ensure the files were properly redacted before publishing them, according to the lawsuit. “I am truly sorry and deeply regret the error,” Minc wrote in an email included as evidence in court records. “It was completely my fault and unintentional. ...I was the only person responsible for assembling, creating, reviewing, adding, deleting, or making any changes to the information that was in this folder.”Moreno, on behalf of her daughter, is seeking $150,000 in statutory damages for “emotional distress” and “reputational harm,” among other things.
