Summary

This week, investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — broke news that a second Jane Doe case had been filed against Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller, accusing him of sexually abusing a 14-year-old student at Cathedral Hall Academy (formerly known as Grand Strand Academy), a school owned JP’s father Wayne Miller, who is named as a co-defendant in the case. In 1999, when JP Miller was 20 years old he allegedly molested the child after inviting her to play piano with him alone in the church sanctuary. The girl told a teacher about what JP allegedly did and instead of the school offering the child help, she was forced to write “I will not lie about JP Miller” 5,000 times. Mandy and Liz break down the latest allegations against the Millers and share text messages between JP, his ex-wife and Mica from 2022 or before that addresses the child sexual abuse allegations against JP. Also on the show, part one of the history of the Millers’ alleged scheme to use their school as a staging ground for abuse. Plus an update on the Justice for Mica protesters and JP’s frivolous lawsuits against them.

0:00.0	I don't know how many more victims will come forward with lawsuits accusing J.P. Miller and
0:09.5	Wayne Miller of abuse. But I know that their churchy business kingdom is crumbling as we speak.
0:17.0	And I know that neither J.P. nor Wayne have ever faced anything like the heat and sunlight that is coming their way from these lawsuits.
0:28.6	And I love that for them.
0:34.4	My name is Mandy Matney.
0:36.7	This is True Sunlight, a podcast exposing crime and corruption, previously known as the Murdoch Murders podcast.
0:44.1	True Sunlight is a Luna Shark production written with journalist Liz Pharrell.
0:51.9	Hello and happy Thursday. Well, we haven't been this busy or this energized in a long time,
0:59.0	and I want to take a moment to tell you about something that has been giving me a lot of hope right now.
1:04.0	Earlier this week, we visited the set of the Murdoch Murdoch's Hulu show based off of our reporting during the Murdoch
1:12.0	Murdoch murder's podcast era. I got choked up and breathless as I walked around and thought about how

1:25.6	to an executive producer on a major scripted series based on my own reporting.
1:32.4	My job was on the floor as I looked around at literally hundreds of busy crew members,

1:41.3	I've never experienced art in slow motion like that, and it was beautiful and the
1:46.3	perfect way to start the week. I love that now I get to wear my executive producer hat on
1:52.3	some days and witnessed before my own eyes just how much hard work pays off, and I equally
1:58.9	love that I get to use that motivation in the stories that we are
2:02.9	working on right now. It's a reminder, again, that accuracy over access journalism pays off,
2:10.5	that ethical reporting pays off, that peskiness pays off. I'm grateful for every single one of you who have made this a reality.
