UPDATE: Authorities have confirmed that Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller has been indicted for cyberstalking his estranged wife, Mica Miller, leading to her tragic death in April 2024. This shocking case spans an alarming 528 days of harassment, manipulation, and intimidation, which investigators say inflicted profound psychological damage on Mica.
The federal grand jury indictment, filed earlier today, outlines a disturbing pattern of behavior by Miller, including tracking Mica’s movements, incessantly calling her, and even damaging her property. Authorities report that he went so far as to post explicit photos of her online and lied about it, escalating the emotional torment she faced.
Mica’s attorney, Regina Ward, expressed relief that Miller is finally facing prosecution, describing the level of abuse endured by Mica as “jaw dropping.” Ward emphasized that she would not be surprised if additional charges arise as the investigation continues.
This case highlights the insidious nature of emotional abuse—an abuse that often leaves no physical scars but can be devastating nonetheless. The mounting evidence of Miller’s actions raises urgent questions about the support systems available for victims of such relentless torment.
