Mica Miller’s pastor husband allegedly raped 15-year-old girl, used church as ‘sexual playground’: lawsuit
The South Carolina pastor whose wife, Mica Miller, fatally shot herself after slapping him with divorce papers has been accused of raping a 15-year-old girl nearly 30 years ago — and using his church as a “sexual playground,” a new lawsuit claims.
Pastor John Paul Miller, 44, allegedly attacked the girl — only identified as “Jane Doe” — in 1998 while at Sunday school at his father’s church, according to the complaint filed Tuesday in Horry County Circuit Court.
Miller, then 19, allegedly took the girl into his dad’s office at the All Nations Church before forcing her outside to his truck, where he sexually assaulted her, court papers alleged.
The girl was a virgin at the time, according to the suit.
She claims Miller — the controversial pastor at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach — assaulted her again years later when she ran into him during a trip to the city in 2023.
The pastor leaned in to give her a hug before suddenly shoving “his hand down her pants touching her genitals without consent,” the suit alleged.
That's just evil.
The accuser alleged that Miller later tried to use a Bible verse to justify the attack, telling her: “No man is without sin and temptation. God understands that.”
The suit, which also names All Nations Church and Solid Rock Church as defendants, accuses him and other leaders of covering up a pattern of alleged abuse over the years.
“This church was JPM’s sexual playground,” the suit claimed.
The alleged victim said she felt “immense guilt” after learning about the death of Miller’s wife last year — and believed if she’d spoken up sooner, she could have prevented more harm.
“She had heard that there were multiple other victims over the years,” her attorney Randall Hood told WBTV. “And it is her hope that in bringing light to the situation, that it will keep it from ever happening again.”
Miller has faced national scrutiny ever since his 30-year-old wife was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in North Carolina’s Lumber River State Park on April 27, 2024 — just days after serving him with divorce papers.
Mica’s death was ruled a suicide by the Robeson County medical examiner but her family has pleaded for cops to “deeply” investigate her demise amid allegations the pastor had abused his wife.
She had contacted police several times in the leadup to her suicide to level allegations against her husband — including that he had “groomed” her when she was a teen before they got married in 2017.
The pastor, for his part, has strenuously denied any allegations of grooming and abuse.
He has also previously said his wife suffered from mental illness, had made previous attempts to take her own life and was hospitalized on multiple occasions.
That should be easy enough to verify.
Miller’s attorney declined to comment on the rape lawsuit when reached by the local outlet.
If Dolan counts Muslims as his brothers and sisters, he should dismiss Christians as such. Muslims deny the death and resurrection of Jesus and are therefore antiChristian.
And Dolan's a Cardinal. It shows you what kind of trouble the Catholic Church is really in. It's time to flee to the wilderness.
Cardinal Dolan hails Ramadan as ‘season of penance for our Islamic brothers and sisters’
Cardinal Timothy Dolan is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York. He is all wrong about Ramadan, and foolishly so. It is not a season of penance. It is a season for Muslims to redouble their efforts to please Allah. The highest form of service to Allah, according to Muhammad, is jihad, which principally involves warfare against unbelievers. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to Allah than by waging jihad? Every Ramadan, therefore, we see an increase in jihad attacks.
Dolan also calls Muslims the “brothers and sisters” of Roman Catholics. In fact, that is not how Muslims regard Christians. Is Dolan aware of these Qur’an passages? (Spoiler: no, he isn’t.)
Qur’an 98:4-6: “Nor were the people of the book divided until after the clear proof came to them. And they are not ordered to do anything else but serve Allah, keeping religion pure for him, as hanifs, and to establish prayer and to give alms. That is true religion. Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.”
Qur’an 5:14: “And with those who say: Indeed, we are Christians, we made a covenant, but they forgot a part of what they were reminded about. Therefore we have stirred up enmity and hatred among them until the day of resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.”
Qur’an 5:17: “They indeed have disbelieved who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things.”
Qur’an 4:157: “And because of their saying, We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it seemed so to them, and indeed, those who disagree about this are in doubt about it, they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a supposition, they did not kill him for certain.
Qur’an 4:171: “O people of the book, do not exaggerate in your religion or say anything about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word that he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and do not say Three, Stop, it is better for you. Allah is only one God. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. Everything that is in the heavens and everything that is on the earth is his. And Allah is sufficient as defender.”
Qur’an 5:116: “And when Allah said, O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to mankind, Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? He said, Be glorified. It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. If I said it, then you know it. You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in your mind. Indeed, you, only you, are the knower of hidden things.”
Qur’an 19:35: “It is not fitting for Allah that he should take to himself a son. Glory be to him, when he decrees a thing, he says to it only, Be, and it is.”
Qur’an 9:30-31: “And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say, The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the statements of those who disbelieved before. May Allah curse them. How perverse they are. They have taken as lords besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah, the son of Mary, when they were called to worship only one God. There is no God except him. May he be glorified from all that they ascribe as partners.”
Qur’an 9:29: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.”
He also praises Muslims for taking Ramadan so seriously. Is he aware (spoiler: no) of how often Muslims (and non-Muslims) are punished for not observing Ramadan? Observance of Ramadan is all too often a matter of fear, not devotion.
That is because Islam is a religion of legalism. Jesus set us free from the law and Mohammed put his followers right back under it. Not God's law, but his law.
