16) Jane Doe 1 Was 15. Jane Doe 2 Was 14. The Lawsuits Name JP & Wayne Miller in Sexual Abuse Allegations
from COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller · host LUNASHARK®
This episode discusses alleged sexual assault, including of minors. For support in navigating abuse, consider RAINN: 1-800-656-HOPE. July 1998. A 15-year-old girl at pastor Wayne Miller’s church sits alone when the pastor's son comes in. The rape she alleges happened next stayed buried for 26 years — until the world learned Mica Francis Miller's name. In 1999, at the same Cathedral Hall Academy — the Millers' school in a repurposed bowling alley — a 14-year-old student says JP Miller sexually assaulted her as well. When she reported it, she alleges, the punishment was hers: made to write "I will not lie about John-Paul Miller" 5,000 times. Journalist and producer Grace Hills walks us through how Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell’s original reporting on the lawsuits of Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 against JP, Wayne and their churchy businesses. But first, Mandy, Liz and Beth review the legal war that preceded these sexual assault suits, as JP filed as many as 28 actions against protesters, content creators, a hairdresser, a guitarist, and at least three women named Melissa. He sought a restraining order — while under federal investigation for allegedly cyberstalking his late wife. Both Millers deny wrongdoing; neither has been criminally charged. So much to get into.
