UPDATE: A federal grand jury has indicted Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller for a shocking 528 days of cyberstalking that culminated in the tragic death of his estranged wife, Mica Miller, in April 2024. This urgent case reveals a harrowing pattern of abuse that authorities say included stalking, harassment, and manipulation.
According to the indictment, Miller began his campaign of intimidation on November 16, 2022, and continued until Mica’s death. Investigators report that he not only tracked her movements but also bombarded her with calls, interfered with her finances, and even posted nude photos of her online without consent. The indictment details acts of physical vandalism, including damaging her tires and threatening her safety.
Mica’s attorney, Regina Ward, expressed relief at the indictment, calling the level of abuse “jaw dropping.” She indicated that the case may not be over yet, as more charges could follow. “This should serve as a wake-up call for those suffering in silence,” Ward stated, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and support for victims of domestic abuse.
This case sheds light on a growing concern regarding digital harassment and the emotional toll it takes on victims. Mica’s tragic story underscores the importance of mental health resources. If you or someone you know is struggling, immediate help is available through the 988 Lifeline or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
As the legal proceedings unfold, many are calling for stronger protections against such forms of abuse. The indictment not only brings justice to Mica but also serves as a critical reminder of the dangers of modern-day stalking and harassment.
