The pastor husband of Mica Miller raped a 15-year-old girl and continued a pattern of ‘sexual abuse and predatory conduct for years,’ according to a new lawsuit.

John-Paul Miller, 44, has been accused in a bombshell lawsuit of attacking the woman, known only as Jane Doe, in 1998 while at his father’s church. 

In a 43-page complaint filed on Tuesday in Horry County Circuit Court, the unidentified woman accused Miller of raping and inappropriately touching her. 

The last incident occurred as recently as 2023, the woman said, with Miller accused of grabbing her genitals in public which triggered ‘repressed memories’. 

Those repressed memories are alleged to be an assault by Miller that occurred in 1998, when she was 15 and he was 19. 

Miller has been under heavy public scrutiny ever since his wife Mica, 30, was found dead in Lumbee River State Park in North Carolina in April last year from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She took her own life days after serving him with divorce papers, and police ruled her death a suicide.

In the new suit, it says that the trauma of that earlier alleged assault was ‘deeply buried’ and that Jane Doe had ‘no conscious recollection of the assault’.

She had been attending Sunday school at Miller’s father’s church when she says he forced her into his father’s office, and shut the door behind him. 

Miller is said to have ‘immediately’ become ‘aggressive’ and ‘physically overpowering’ against her.

After a struggle and pleading with him to stop, Miller led her from the office to outside the church, the suit claims. 

The woman alleged that she was forced into his truck and raped. The suit stated she was a virgin at the time. 

The 2023 incident that spawned the lawsuit involved the pair meeting in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, while she was there with a friend. 

Miller is said to have leaned in to hug her when he ‘shoved his hand down her pants, touching her genitals without her consent’, the complaint adds. 

Not long after that, the woman and Miller got into an argument over his title as ‘pastor’ during which she claims he cited scripture as justification for the assault.

Miller said: ‘No man is without sin and temptation. God understands that’, the suit claims. 

Her suit named All Nations Church, led by his father Reginald Wayne Miller, and his own church Cathedral Baptist Church of the Grand Strand and Solid Rock Ministries as defendants. 

It said that the father and son ‘presented themselves as devout religious leaders’ but engaged in ‘sexual abuse and predatory conduct’.

‘They used their positions of power to manipulate and exploit vulnerable victims while concealing their actions from the public’, the summary reads. 

It cited two sworn affidavits, one from his ex-wife Alison Williams and another from Susan Miller, his father’s ex-wife. 

In Williams’ affidavit from last year, the suit said that she testified that Miller had confessed to being sexually inappropriate with ‘several underage female members of their church’. 

Williams said that Miller had attempted to justify his behavior by pointing the figure of his own history of childhood sexual abuse allegedly at the hands of his father. 

She also said that Miller had been ordered to undergo a sexual addiction rehab program, though she claims he never completed it. 

Susan Miller’s 2007 testimony that is cited details how Miller’s father ‘physically and emotionally abused his family’. 

Her testimony also stated that she had heard ‘rumors’ and ‘sexual innuendo’ regarding her former husband. 

Several young men came had previously came forward against the elder Miller in 1989, telling WPDE he had made sexual advances towards them. 

Attorney Randall Hood, who is representing the woman, said: ‘She had heard that there were multiple other victims over the years.

‘And it is her hope that in bringing light to the situation, that it will keep it from ever happening again.’

Mica and Miller initially split on September 20 2023, before the divorce was dismissed on February 13 

Mica and John-Paul Miller initially split on September 20 2023, before the divorce was dismissed on February 13.

Later that same month Miller filed against his wife for separate support and maintenance in a motion withdrawn March 11.

But on April 15, just 12 days before she was found dead, Mica filed for divorce once more and sought a no contact order against her husband. They split for the second time on February 6.

Autopsy results, including a muzzle imprint and gunpowder residue on her head, later confirmed she took her own life, and found no drugs or alcohol in her blood.

However, Miller is accused in court documents of grooming Mica for years before they wed, committing her to hospital to steal her car, and cheating on his first wife with underage churchgoers.

DailyMail.com previously revealed how she accused him of posting a nude photograph of her on Facebook just weeks before her death.

Miller has since admitted to the malicious act and even claimed he tried to make amends – telling NewsNation the act was ‘evil’.

Later on March 14 and March 26 Mica reported that she had found a tracking device on her car, after discovering it attached by magnets under the chassis.

Another police report over the alleged theft of her silver Honda Accord shows the breakdown of their marriage dating back to February 2023.

‘When the complainant was discharged from the hospital, hospital staff informed her that her husband picked up her purse and her keys,’ the report states.

‘The complainant believed that her husband fraudulently initiated her involuntary hospitalization and ‘stole’ her care while she was in the hospital.’

The most salacious claim in Mica’s police reports was that Miller, who is 14 years older than her, ‘groomed’ her since she was 10, before they married in 2017.

‘The complainant stated that she has known her husband since she was ten-years-old and that he ‘groomed’ her while she worked for him at Solid Rock Church until they were married,’ the report added. 

Miller stunned his congregants when, after a service in which he had laughed and appeared entirely at ease, he announced that his wife had died. 

Just 12 days before she was found dead, Mica filed for divorce once more and sought a no contact order against her husband 

The pastor, who has a criminal record including multiple counts of aggravated assault and battery to which he pleaded guilty, told his congregation that her death was ‘self-induced’.

‘You all know she wasn’t well mentally and that she needed her medicine and it was hard to get to her,’ he said.

Miller was charged with third-degree assault and battery last November after allegedly attacking a ‘Justice for Mica’ protester.

A witness captured footage of the incident, showing a woman, Sandra Karon, chasing him in a parking lot and harassing him.

She screamed at him as he ran away, and he turned back and confronted her, shouting back: ‘What did you say? You walked right up to me.’ 

Miller allegedly squared up to her and tapped her on her hat with his phone, resulting in the assault charges. 

The assault charge was unrelated to an FBI raid on Miller’s home days earlier, the reason for which is still unclear.
