Mica Miller’s Husband, John-Paul Miller, Arrested Days After FBI Search Home
John-Paul Miller, the disqualified impastor and former husband of the late Mica Miller, has been arrested on charges that he assaulted a protester only days after the FBI raided his home for undisclosed reasons and carted off bags of evidence. According to People:
John-Paul, 45, was arrested on Wednesday, Nov. 6, in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on an assault charge, according to Myrtle Beach Police Department’s online records.
Myrtle Beach law enforcement officials responded to his church on Wednesday afternoon regarding a “possible assault,” according to an arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.
During what the warrant describes as a “protest” at the church, the alleged victim approached John-Paul and stated “Here Kitty Kitty,” to him, per the arrest warrant. The document did not clarify what the protest was about.
Police allege John-Paul then “got into the victims (sic) face” and began recording her before tapping the person’s cap and walking away, per the affidavit.
Miller was released the next day with bond set at $776, and a trial date of December 10. He is presently in the process of rebranding the church and starting a new ministry.
The story of Mica Miller went viral after we shared a video showing her estranged pastor-husband, John-Paul, announcing her death in a strange way following the church service, two weeks after she filed for divorce. At the time, John-Paul preached an entire sermon and then, at the very end, sprung it on the congregation that his wife died last night by killing herself and then told the congregation not to talk about it.
Crucially, Mica filed for divorce two weeks before her death, releasing videos of how she’d been abused and harassed by her husband but was excited about the future. This led to worldwide speculation that he may have been involved in ‘unaliving’ her, but a police investigation concluded that she acted alone.
However, troubling details of their relationship came to light following her death, including him releasing pornographic images of her on a local Facebook group and putting trackers on her vehicle, prompting the belief that he took advantage of her frail mental health and drove her to suicide.
It was later revealed that John-Paul began an affair with Mica, who was his best friend’s wife and once a youth in his church, after she started babysitting his four children. When discovered, his wife Alison filed for divorce. In a sworn affidavit during the divorce proceeding, she would write:
“Our marriage and my husband’s career were less than stable at the time, because at the time my husband’s affair was discovered, he had previously admitted to both me and our congregation, that he had an addiction to prostitution.
He had also confessed to me and other staff members of the church that he had sexual encounters with young females from the church, who were under the age of sixteen.When the defendant’s affair (with Mica) was discovered, the church leaders demanded that the defendant seek counseling for sexual addiction. When he refused, the majority of our church left the congregation.”
