PASTOR JOHN PAUL MILLER SET FREE ON STALKING WIFE MICA, CHURCH WAS "SEX PLAYGROUND" RPT

John Paul Miller pleads not guilty to charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators, waiving his right to a speedy trial, not unusual in a federal case.

Prosecutors claim Miller is a flight risk, citing a large safe, silver pieces, and valuable baseball cards found in Miller's home as means to flee, in addition to access to a private plane. The judge sides with U.S. attorneys, setting Miller's bond at $100,000 and ordering Miller must surrender his passport and wear an ankle monitor.

The grand jury charges from November 16, 2022, until Mica's death on April 27, 2024, 528 days, John Paul Miller harassed Mica.

Count one claims Miller threatened to use nude videos and photos of Mica to harass, posted a nude photo of Mica online without her consent, placed tracking devices on vehicles used by Mica, placed Mica under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate, damaged Mica's vehicle, and interfered with Mica's finances.

He also interfered with Mica's daily activities.

If he is found guilty of cyberstalking, his sentence could be five years, or it could be between nine and 10 years depending on the charges that the jury decides he's guilty of.

Lying to police could equal another five to eight years behind that he could receive behind bars. So. he could get almost 20 years behind bars.
