South Carolina pastor charged with allegedly cyberstalking wife before she died by suicide

A former South Carolina pastor has been indicted on federal charges of cyberstalking his wife, including allegedly posting a nude photo of her online, before she died by suicide in 2024, authorities said.

A federal grand jury in Columbia, S.C., returned a two-count indictment on Thursday, charging 46-year-old John-Paul Miller with cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators, stemming from the investigation into his wife's death.

"This case underscores the seriousness of domestic violence abuse and related offenses and serves as a reminder that such behavior has no place in our society," Robeson County, North Carolina, Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said in a statement posted on his office's Facebook page, along with photos of both John-Paul and Mica Miller.
