UPDATE: A federal grand jury has indicted Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller on charges of cyberstalking after a harrowing 528 days of abuse against his estranged wife, Mica Miller, who tragically took her own life in April 2024. Investigators revealed shocking details of Miller’s relentless campaign of stalking, harassment, and intimidation, which began on November 16, 2022, and continued until her death.
Authorities allege that Miller not only tracked Mica but also subjected her to repeated phone calls, financial interference, and threats. He is accused of damaging her tires and sharing explicit photos online without her consent. The sheer scale of the abuse has left legal experts and advocates stunned, with Mica’s attorney, Regina Ward, describing it as “jaw-dropping.”
While it took federal investigators 19 months to bring these charges, the decision to prosecute Miller is seen as a crucial step toward justice for Mica. “This level of abuse is unacceptable,” Ward stated, hinting at the possibility of additional charges to come.
This case highlights the urgent need for awareness surrounding emotional and psychological abuse, often invisible yet profoundly damaging. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available for those in need, offering critical resources at 1-800-799-SAFE.
