This is the complete picture. The pattern. The playbook. And the system that let it happen.

Mica Miller was ten years old when she met Pastor John-Paul Miller. According to her own words to police, he groomed her for years before making her his wife. By thirty, she was dead—found at a North Carolina state park with a bullet wound to her head, two days after serving him divorce papers. Ruled a suicide. But the woman who called police fourteen times begging for help had also told her family: "If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me. It was JP."

The federal indictment alleges JP cyberstalked Mica for eighteen months: tracking devices on her car, a nude photo posted online without consent, over fifty contacts in a single day, and lies to federal investigators. He has pleaded not guilty.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years treating survivors of coercive control. She explains how the pattern in this indictment works—and why every system Mica reached out to failed her. In February 2024, Mica was involuntarily hospitalized for forty-eight hours. When released, her car was gone, her digital accounts locked, and JP had allegedly removed documents she'd been collecting about his abuse. JP told media Mica had "mental health struggles." In a sermon, he told his congregation a mentally ill person "doesn't know they're sick." Scott explains how abusers weaponize mental health narratives to discredit victims.

The story extends beyond Mica. JP's first wife alleges he confessed to sexual misconduct with minors. Chris Skinner drowned two weeks after allegedly confronting JP. Two civil lawsuits allege decades of sexual abuse by JP and his father. They deny everything. South Carolina still has no coercive control law.
