HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Embattled Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller is again being accused of sexually assaulting a young girl, this time when he was teaching at his father’s former Christian school more than 20 years ago.

The 46-page suit filed Wednesday in Horry County Common Pleas Court by Jane Doe #2″ alleges that Miller not only repeatedly groped a girl who was 14 at the time, but humiliated her while encouraging others to do as well when she tried to report the alleged abuse.

Miller on Feb. 25 was named in a complaint by “Jane Doe #1” that he assaulted her when she was 15 years old, continuing a pattern of “sexual abuse and predatory conduct” that often targeted minors over decades.

The new wave of accusations center around incidents that happened at Cathedral Hall Academy in 1999 — a private Christian school in Myrtle Beach operated by Miller’s father, Reginald “Wayne” Miller.

John-Paul Miller at the time was 19 and his victim was 14, the suit says. He couldn’t immediately be reached for comment but has refused to speak with News13 multiple times.

Anguish in a former bowling alley

“The school was run by pastor Wayne Miller and his son, John-Paul Miller, who portrayed themselves as devout men of God, offering a faith-based education in a nurturing environment,” the lawsuit says. “Instead, Plaintiff walked into a nightmare. Cathedral Hall Academy was not a school. It was a trap.”

With no certified teachers, legitimate coursework or structured academics, the classrooms carved out of a repurposed bowling alley were incomplete, with uneven, slick foors.

It was in that environment that the torment began for the unidentified woman, according to the suit.

After a morning chapel service, she was asked to hold the door as students departed. John-Paul stayed behind, playing a piano when he asked the girl to join him, the complaint says.

She agreed, and John-Paul pulled her in for a hug when she got up to leave.

“She barely had time to react before JPM’s hands moved down her back, past her waist and under her clothing and touching her bare butt,” the lawsuit says.

The victim wasn’t sure what to do, so reported the action to a teacher. From there, she was sent to Reginald Wayne Miller’s office, where John-Paul was waiting as well.

“RWM demanded she repeat her accusation with his son standing beside him. Jane Doe #2’s voice waved, and she told the truth,” the lawsuit says.

After shouting to her not to lie about his son, Reginald Wayne Miller forced to write “I will not lie about John-Paul Miller” 5,000 times.

‘Raped by demons’

The girl soon became a victim of intense bullying that included name calling and, physical assaults and mockery by John-Paul, who was on hand for several of the confrontations — including once when her shirt was ripped open and tissues stuffed into her bra.

“Through it all, JPM was there, smirking, encouraging, watching,” the lawsuit alleges.

His father, who found her crying one day, told her she was disrupting the “Lord’s work” and needed to repent.

“The message was clear. No one would protect her,” the lawsuit claims.

By the time she entered ninth grade, the girl “stopped hoping things would change,” was sexually assaulted again after Miller said she failed a test and needed to stay behind after class for extra help.

At another point, the Jane Doe brought a Harry Potter book to school, which ended up with being taken back to Reginald Wayne Miller’s office again.

“They berated her, called her a servant of Satan and told her that if she continued down this path, she would be raped by demons,” the lawsuit says.

The Millers then set the book on fire, beat her and poured water over her head. Sixteen at the time, it was her final year at Cathedral Hall Academy.

The Millers and their ministries are being sued on grounds of negligence, civil conspiracy, assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violating the South Carolina Fair Trade Practices Act.

Miller has been embroiled in controversy since his wife Mica’s death last April, while he was pastor at Solid Rock Church in The Market Common. Mica’s death at the Lumber River State Park near Lumberton in Robeson County was ruled a suicide, but her family and numerous protestors within the “Justice for Mica” movement have pushed forward with claims that he abused his wife.

John-Paul was jailed on an assault charge in November after an incident near the Solid Rock Church, which has since been closed and sold. Prior to that, the FBI searched his home in the Azalea Lakes neighborhood near Myrtle Beach.

The Millers’ ministry dates back to the early 1970s, when Reginald Miller founded the Florence Tabernacle Church, the lawsuit said. The ministry eventually grew into the Gloryland Bible College and later Cathedral Bible College.

The ministry was relocated to Myrtle Beach in 1993 following allegations of sexual misconduct involving Reginald Miller and students of the college, the lawsuit said. That was followed by the creation of Cathedral Baptist Church.
