Mica Miller called police fourteen times in her final months. She told officers she was afraid for her life. She told family members if she ended up with a bullet in her head, it wasn't by her—it was JP. Two days after serving her husband divorce papers, she was dead. Her death was ruled a suicide.

Now the federal government has indicted Pastor John-Paul Miller. They allege he cyberstalked her for eighteen months—tracking her car, posting a nude photo of her online, contacting her over fifty times in a single day, and lying to investigators about all of it. He has pleaded not guilty.

But this story doesn't start with Mica. It starts with JP's father—a man whose own ex-wife testified he exercised absolute control over his family and congregation. It continues through JP's first marriage, where his ex-wife alleges he confessed to sexual misconduct with underage church members. And it connects to Chris Skinner—a quadriplegic who drowned two weeks after allegedly confronting JP about sleeping with his wife. JP married that widow thirteen months after Mica died.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, who has spent thirty years treating survivors of coercive control, walks through how coercive controllers weaponize systems against their victims. In February 2024, Mica was involuntarily hospitalized. When she got out, her car was gone, her accounts were locked, and documents she'd collected about his abuse had allegedly been removed. JP told media Mica had "mental health struggles." Scott explains how abusers use these narratives to ensure no one believes their victims.

Two civil lawsuits allege JP and his father sexually abused minors for decades. They deny everything. South Carolina still has no standalone coercive control law. Senate Bill 702 keeps stalling. This case shows exactly why.
