The woman filing the complaint – identified only as Jane Doe – is suing for negligence, civil conspiracy, assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress and violation of the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act. The lawsuit argues that despite knowledge of John-Paul Miller’s behavior, his father and church officials took steps to cover up and even suppress the reporting of his actions, and allowed him to remain in a position of authority.

On April 27, 2024, Miller’s wife, Mica Miller, made a call to 911 and asked a dispatcher if they could track her location. When the dispatcher asked why, Mica said she was about to kill herself and that she wanted her family to be able to locate her body.
Earlier in the day, she was captured on security footage purchasing a gun at a pawn shop. She was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. Those questioning her death have pointed to her husband as the primary suspect and have accused him of abusing his wife. Their allegations have not been substantiated.
