Overview
- A federal grand jury in Columbia charged John Paul “JP” Miller, 46, with cyberstalking and making false statements, with arraignment set for January 12, 2026 in federal court in Florence.
- The indictment alleges he posted a nude photo without consent, caused tracking devices to be placed on his estranged wife’s car, contacted her more than 50 times in a day, interfered with her finances and activities, and damaged her tires.
- Prosecutors say he lied to federal agents by claiming he hired a private investigator to protect her from buying firearms and by denying tire damage despite purchasing a tire deflation device.
- Mica Miller’s April 27, 2024 death was ruled a suicide by North Carolina authorities, though relatives have publicly questioned the findings and the handling of potential evidence.
- He faces up to five years on the cyberstalking count and two years for the false-statements count, with fines up to $250,000, and prosecutors emphasize that the charges are allegations.
