The first known victim, a 22-year-old woman, reported in March 2021 that “she was sexually assaulted by Miller while in the emergency room receiving medical care at Providence Mission Hospital,” states the release. The following month, a 68-year-old woman reported that Miller had sexually assaulted her as well. A 56-year-old woman came forward in June 2021 to report that she was sexually assaulted by the suspect.
Miller was arrested at about 10:30 AM on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, and charged with sexual elder abuse and sexual battery. He was booked into Orange County Jail on $100,000 bail.
