Summary
JP Miller pleaded not guilty in federal court — then ducked out a back door while protesters filled the courthouse. The federal case against the former Myrtle Beach pastor has officially begun.
Federal Magistrate Thomas E. Rogers III set bond at $100,000 with conditions that include an ankle monitor, no contact with victims or witnesses, surrender of his passport, no firearms, and no excessive drinking. Prosecutors told the court Miller is a flight risk and a danger to the community.
The indictment paints a disturbing picture: tracking devices on Mica's car, over 50 contacts in a single day, a nude photo posted online in what JP himself called an attempt to "hurt" her, and a tire deflation device he purchased online then lied to investigators about. This wasn't a moment of anger. According to prosecutors, it was a pattern — one that lasted from November 2022 until Mica's death in April 2024.
Mica Miller told police her husband had "groomed" her since she was ten. She was trying to escape. She filed for divorce. She sought a restraining order. She told officers she was "afraid for her life." Two days after JP was served divorce papers, she was dead.
But the questions don't stop with Mica. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic veteran — drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool in 2021. His widow Suzie married JP Miller in June 2025. According to a sworn affidavit from JP's first wife, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with Suzie just two weeks before his death.
Two dead spouses. One federal indictment. An ankle monitor. And a trial that will finally put JP Miller's version of events to the test.
