Domestic Violence and Cyberstalking

A federal grand jury in Columbia, South Carolina, indicted Myrtle Beach pastor John Paul Miller, 46, on Dec. 18 on one count of cyberstalking and one count of making false statements for allegedly harassing and tracking his estranged wife, 30‑year‑old Mica Miller, from November 2022 until her April 27, 2024 suicide at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. The indictment alleges Miller bombarded her with messages, interfered with her finances and daily life, damaged her car tires, secretly placed tracking devices on her vehicle, and posted a nude photo of her online, and that he later lied to federal agents about purchasing and using a tire‑deflation device; he faces up to five years in prison on the cyberstalking charge and two years on the false‑statements count, with arraignment set for Jan. 12, 2026 in Florence, South Carolina.
