A man was sentenced to serve 53 years July 25 after being convicted of child sex crimes by a Marion County jury.
Ira Miles, 37, will serve 49 of those years in prison after being found guilty of child molesting, rape, sexual misconduct with a minor, criminal confinement and intimidation. Miles' sentence was increased due to prior felony convictions.
In June, Miles was found guilty of sexually abusing a child relative over the course of several years. The victim told investigators that Miles said if anyone found out about the abuse, he would kill her and another family member, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Detectives also spoke with a relative who said Miles would "become violent when he gets upset.”
Before being arrested for child molestation in January, Miles was arrested in late 2024 for unlawful carrying of a handgun given a previous felony conviction.
