Summary
John Paul Miller, a South Carolina pastor, whose wife, Mica Miller, died by suicide last year after she filed for divorce, has been federally indicted after being accused of posting her nude photo online and stalking her before her death.
Miller, 46, is charged with felony charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators, according to authorities.
John-Paul Miller and Mica Miller were married in 2017, and at the age of just 23, Mica Miller becomes stepmom to John-Paul Miller's five children. JP Miller is considerably older than his beautiful young wife, but they move forward like a match made in heaven.
Outside the home, everybody seems happy, but inside the home, not so much. Mica Miller decides she has had enough of Pastor John-Paul Miller and files for divorce. Four months after filing for divorce, Mica Miller pulls back the divorce papers, only to file new divorce papers weeks later.
After filing for divorce the second time, her tires are slashed twice in a week, and a mechanic finds a tracking device in Mica's car. Allegedly, Mica feels like she is being stalked by Miller and fears for her life.
One morning during a church service, Pastor John-Paul Miller announces he got a call last night, and his wife has died by suicide.
Mica's family and friends demand justice for Mica and ask law enforcement to investigate. Protest follows outside Solid Rock Church demanding justice for Mica.
