00:00:52.560 --> 00:01:22.040
I'm given cal oh No.

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:28.239
Hey everyone, welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite.

3
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.879
I am your host Jim Chapman, and we're back with

4
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.400
the fifth part in the Micah Miller case, part of

5
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.959
our Exposed Investigates series. Now, the last time that I

6
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.480
left you, we played the interview featuring JP Miller. It

7
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.879
was his first extended interview. It was with News Nation.

8
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.920
And today we're going to talk about Micah's law, and

9
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.159
I'm going to start with reading you a quick article

10
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.920
that came out Thursday, June sixth of twenty twenty four

11
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.359
by ABC News, and it reads the attorney for the

12
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.080
family of a pastor's wife whose death was ruled as

13
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.759
suicide held a news conference to give an update on

14
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.520
Michah Miller's estate and discuss Micah's law. Miller, who was thirty,

15
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.280
lived in South Carolina. She was found dead April twenty

16
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.639
seventh at lumber River State Park, and she was in

17
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.639
the midst of divorce proceedings with her estranged husband, J. P. Miller,

18
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.400
a pastor at Solid Rock Church. An affidavit said that

19
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:39.120
Michah Miller's sister, Sierra Francis, applied to be the special

20
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.240
administrator of her estate, four days before the county Medical

21
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.000
Examiner announced Miller's cause of death as suicide. In the affidavit,

22
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.560
Francis claimed that her sister said she experienced abuse and

23
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.080
violence from her husband. Miller's death came just days after

24
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.360
she told an officer she was scared for her life

25
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.199
after finding a GPS tracker on her car in razor

26
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.960
blades in her tire. Her attorney Sad Miller's phone, purse,

27
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.199
and vehicle were still in the possession of the County

28
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.400
Sheriff's office. Ward also unveiled MICA's law, also known as

29
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.759
the coercive Control Law. Ward said that coercive Control bill

30
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.639
had been sitting in the state legislator's Judiciary Committee since

31
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.479
twenty twenty. Ward said that the bill has been languishing. Quote,

32
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.639
this bill has been putting a folder in a dust

33
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.400
covered box in a back corner of the closet in

34
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.879
the Judiciary Committee's office. I challenged them to go back there,

35
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.400
find it and bring it and assign a committee to it.

36
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.639
Let's get this done. It's important. Ward said. The coercive

37
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.919
Control bill refers to a pattern of behavior used to dominate, manipulate,

38
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.840
and intimidate another person with an intimate and familiar relationship.

39
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:06.599
She said acts include threats, humiliation, emotional abuse, and isolation,

40
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.360
and the goal is to harm, punish, and frighten the victim.

41
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.960
Ward compiled what she called Micah's List allegations taken for

42
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.399
Miller's spoken words, journals, and other writings that she left behind.

43
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.160
The list is used to show examples of abusive course

44
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.079
of control. She did emphasize that Miller's husband had not

45
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.199
been arrested or charged with any crime related to the case.

46
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.079
So in that article I referenced the Ward Law Firm

47
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.160
and Regina Ward, who is the attorney for Michael Miller's family,

48
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.399
and I actually have the package that she sent that

49
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.639
they referenced in that article. So in that package, Regina

50
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.000
Ward sends a letter to Chairman Senator Luke Rankin of

51
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.480
the Senate Judiciary Committee, and it contained the following cover letter,

52
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.720
Dear Chairman Rankin, as you may be a news of

53
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.240
Michael Miller's death has swept the nation in world by storm.

54
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.959
Michah was a beautiful thirty year old Christian young woman

55
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.079
when on April twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, she died

56
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.879
from an alleged self inflicted fatal gunshot wound. She was

57
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.199
employed at her husband's church, Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle

58
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.759
Beach as the worship leader, youth director, graphic designer, mission ambassador,

59
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.160
media director, in a myriad of other duties. In journals

60
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.639
and writings for Micah, she alleged that her husband passed her,

61
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.720
John Paul Miller, emotionally abused her and abused her physically, spiritually, financially,

62
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.240
and sexually. According to Micah, mister Miller began this process

63
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.720
by isolating her from her family and friends, removing her

64
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.519
name from bank accounts, took her cell phone, which deprived

65
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.600
her of contact numbers in a way to call, stole

66
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.360
her car and hid it from her, repeatedly put her down,

67
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.360
degraded her, threatened to reveal, and she did reveal private

68
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.360
information in semi nude photos of her, had her investigated

69
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.720
for a false crime, and misuse the legal process to

70
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.759
have her committed for mental evaluation. Some believe that Micah

71
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.199
took her life as a result of these alleged abuses.

72
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.839
Keep in mind that mister Miller has never been arrested

73
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.920
for domestic violence or any other crime against his wife

74
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.959
during their entire marriage. Mister Miller asserts his actions were

75
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.199
all attempts to protect her, as he contends she was

76
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.399
in a bipolar mania from being off her bipolar medicine. Now,

77
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.000
I encourage you to put this letter to the side

78
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.240
for a moment and read the attached MICA's list, and

79
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.160
then pick up reading from here. MICA's list is a

80
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.120
small excerpt of the many, many terrible things that Micah

81
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.720
alleges her husband did to her. So we're going to

82
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.800
stop right there with reading the letter and do just

83
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.720
what she said to do, which was to review MICA's

84
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.279
list that she attacked, and it reads Micah's list abusive

85
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.240
coercive control behavior examples. Keep in mind that all of

86
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.959
the following allegations were taken from Micah's verbal story in

87
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.600
her diaries and journals she left behind regarding her husband

88
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.279
JP Miller. Mister Miller has not been arrested or charged

89
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.959
with any crime related to Micah ever. And then it

90
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.279
goes through that list Number one, isolating her from family

91
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.839
and friends. JP cut her off from her family and friends,

92
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.759
taking her contact lists by confiscating her cellphone and hiding

93
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.959
it from her, telling her her family is using her

94
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.240
and are not good people, and she should disassociate with

95
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.000
them forbidding her to spend time with her friends or

96
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.279
questioning her necessity about it, so that the harassment outweighed

97
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:54.399
the benefits of having friendships. Two Depriving her basic needs.

98
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.800
JP would not let her sleep, keeping her up at

99
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.800
night and pulling the covers off her every time she

100
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.879
dozed off, throwing her clothes on the front lawn of

101
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.160
their home, waking her up and screaming at her incessantly,

102
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.399
to the point that she had to go sleep in

103
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.160
her car just to get some peace and rest. Three

104
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.480
stalking tracking her whereabouts. JP hired private investigators to follow

105
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.279
and track her and put multiple GPS devices on her car.

106
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.680
After they separated, he would follow her and find her

107
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.319
by GPS tracker, and then he would drive very slowly

108
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.120
to make sure she saw him. He would walk into

109
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.159
any place she was and go up to the table

110
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.440
or area and make a comment or stand afar so

111
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:43.159
she could see that he was present. Four Monitoring her communications.

112
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.600
JP took her cellphone, went through her text messages and

113
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.240
call logs, and claims. He found eighteen people had texted

114
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.600
her that they were willing to listen to her if

115
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.679
she wanted to talk about her husband. JP hacked into

116
00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:00.799
her email, iCloud, in Facebook account and took over her identity. Five,

117
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.080
taking control over aspects of her life. JP controlled what

118
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.399
she could associate with, where she could go, and all

119
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.200
aspects of her life as stated herein throughout. Took her

120
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.720
driver's license, wallet, purse, car, house keys, and changed the

121
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.080
locks on the doors. I mean, can y'all imagine? And

122
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.240
it goes on. Six. Deprived her of her support services.

123
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.840
JP took her cellphone, her car, apple watch, and convinced

124
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.759
her she did not need a lawyer. From the pulpit,

125
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.919
he gave a sermon and chastised her and any woman

126
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.039
or man that texted his wife that had encouraged her

127
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.519
to confide in them about her husband the pastor, thus

128
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:45.440
shutting down even a private confidante. She became afraid to

129
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:50.399
speak out. Seven, Expressing her worthlessness, JP told her that

130
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.559
she was lazy and mentally ill, that her breast were

131
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.240
too small, that her family was ignorant and they used her,

132
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.279
and that she was not a good Christian woman if

133
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.039
she questioned him or did not submit to him or

134
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:09.240
keep all his dark secrets. Eight humiliated, degraded, and dehumanized her.

135
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.519
JP forced her to submit to humiliating sexual acts that

136
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.360
disgusted and hurt her. He would tell her she was

137
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.200
mentally ill or have her hospitalized against her will. He

138
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.759
would put her down for having ideas or getting inspired

139
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.000
by outside influences, telling her or others that she fell

140
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:32.879
for anything, eluding she was not smart. JP uploaded a

141
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.960
seminude photo of his wife to the Internet and later

142
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.879
apologized in an email and attempted to minimize the damage

143
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.799
by stating it was only up for an hour. Nine

144
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.879
prevented disclosure to authorities. When Michael would threaten to expose JP,

145
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.879
he would ramp up his abuse and tell her she

146
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.639
was not a Christian woman, not a dutiful woman, and

147
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:59.320
that she was acting like a judge. Only God is

148
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.960
the judge, and that she was required by the Bible

149
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.879
to protect him and not disclose what he did to her.

150
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.159
In fact, according to JP, the Bible said, she is

151
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.600
supposed to forgive him for his abuse, and as a

152
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.039
dutiful woman, is to obey her husband, and if she

153
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.960
does not, she is sinning. Ten Financial abuse. JP removed

154
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.480
her from her bank accounts and told her that she

155
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.320
did not know how to manage money, but required her

156
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.200
to pay her own car payment, car insurance, and other

157
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:34.200
medical bills. Eleven threats to hurt her, her family, or himself.

158
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.879
If she hinted of exposing JP's abuse, he threatened to

159
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.519
commit suicide or that he would jump off a bridge.

160
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.720
He also made similar threats if she said she wanted

161
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.519
to leave her divorce him, or if she refused to

162
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.600
return to him after he threw her out. He threatened

163
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.080
her family with gun violence. JP threatened to divorce her

164
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.279
she did not obey him and if she did not

165
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.759
take the pills he gave to her. Next threats to

166
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:04.159
her or publish private information. JP would make videos of

167
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.960
her in private settings and then threatened to upload him

168
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.480
if she did not do what he wanted. He convinced

169
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.480
her to send a topless picture meant only for the

170
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:17.200
eyes of her husband. Next assault, JP kept many guns

171
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.440
and knives in the home. He punched holes in the

172
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.000
walls during his fits of rage and said he was

173
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.399
quote on the way, armed and ready when he demanded

174
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.399
she leave her sisters home and come home. JP kept

175
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.759
her in a constant state of panic and feared that

176
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:36.159
she would do something to trigger him. Next rape, while

177
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.639
she was hospitalized, JP demanded that she have sex with

178
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.480
him while she lay in the hospital bed. JP forced

179
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.360
her to perform sexual acts against her will and demanded

180
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.360
she watch him in sexual acts with others and forced

181
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.639
her to sit so others could touch her body against

182
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:58.120
her will. JP told her and preached on Sundays that

183
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.759
if she did not submit to his every recrusts for

184
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.600
sex in any manner, he desired that it was her

185
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.080
fault if he needed to go get fulfilled by another

186
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.240
woman or man. Next, preventing her from having transportation, JP

187
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.960
slashed a total of five of her car tires. He

188
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.799
inserted razors in her tires, potential to cause her to wreck.

189
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.759
JP took her vehicle that was titled in her name

190
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.559
and paid for solely by her, and hid it from her.

191
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.799
In order to be able to get to work. She

192
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.399
was forced to buy a second vehicle, thus giving her

193
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:34.039
two car payments and two insurance costs. JP took her purse,

194
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.840
driver's license, and her car keys to prevent her from

195
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:42.080
leaving the house. Next, interfering with her work. When she

196
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.480
worked at the church, JP would randomly fire her for

197
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.519
disobeying him, and then he would hire her back if

198
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.960
she agreed on certain sexual acts or some other list

199
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.480
of demands he allowed or wrote letters to her on

200
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.960
church letterhead and demeaned her and put her down. She

201
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.279
had to leave her job that she really loved the

202
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.559
church and take a job in the restaurant industry. Next,

203
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:10.399
ignoring request and commands to leave her alone, She asked

204
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.840
him over and over again to leave her alone, but

205
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.320
he would not. After a police officer warned him to

206
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.120
leave her alone, he trespassed into her gated community to

207
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.559
leave a quote present on top of her car. Next,

208
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.360
cruelty to her dog. JP threw Micah's belongings out of

209
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.080
the house and then demanded that she quote come get

210
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.399
her dog. She couldnot keep the dog at the apartment

211
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.120
she was staying in at the time, and he knew it.

212
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.720
When she did not immediately get the dog, he took

213
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.639
the dog to her apartment and tied the little dog

214
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.519
to the front door handle. He knew she was not home,

215
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.960
and he left the dog there. She had to leave

216
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.120
where she was at at the time to go home

217
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.799
and get the dog. She found a home for the dog,

218
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.639
but when JP found out about her giving the dog

219
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.840
to someone else. He went there and demanded the person

220
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.360
give him the dog back. Next destruction of property. JP

221
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.919
intimidated her by damaging her property, breaking her things, giving

222
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.799
away her things, and throwing them in the trash. He

223
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.200
keyed her card, dented the hood with a dumbbell, backed

224
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.120
it into something, damaging the trunk, and slashed the tires

225
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:23.080
and cut up the passenger seat. Next destruction of supporting evidence.

226
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.799
JP actively sought out her journals and diaries, where she

227
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.720
kept logs of details of things that he did to her.

228
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.120
He found and destroyed many journals and writings belonging to Micah,

229
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.960
which she intended to use as evidence to prove his

230
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:42.879
destructive behavior and abuse of tactics. He also erased evidence, photos, videos,

231
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.360
and writings that she kept on her iCloud and cell phone.

232
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:51.200
Next misuse of legal documents. JP had an attorney write

233
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.480
and send a cease and desist letter to Micah demanding

234
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.879
she stopped talking bad about JP and the church or

235
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.159
suffered legal ramification. JP had a lawyer draft up a

236
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.960
post nuptial agreement and demanded she sign it, giving up

237
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.720
certain marital rights before he would allow her to return

238
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.519
to the marriage. JP used a lawyer to draft a

239
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:16.200
separation agreement with one sided terms and demanded that she

240
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.960
sign it without the benefit of representation. Next misuse of

241
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.360
law enforcement. JP called the police on her for no reason.

242
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.399
He reported her for a crime she did not commit,

243
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.559
making her the subject of an investigation which became unfounded

244
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.000
and dropped. The officer allegedly told Micah it was abuse

245
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.000
of a law and a waste of police time. Next

246
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.960
misuse of legal process. JP filed papers twice in probate

247
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.799
court to have her involuntarily committed, claiming she was manic,

248
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.480
and asked for a mental health evaluation, claiming she was

249
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:55.519
in danger to herself. The probate judge disagreed. JP convinced

250
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.440
her to drop her divorce case against him, and then

251
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.639
turned around and filed his own case and family court

252
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.720
against her, and then he dropped his suit shortly after

253
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:09.160
that filing. Next adultery. JP cheated on her many times.

254
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.000
He sent new pictures of himself to other women. He

255
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.960
paid a woman from church ten thousand dollars to destroy

256
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.960
a sexually explicit video of himself. He flirted with other women,

257
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.319
He sexted and dated other women. He paid for sex

258
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.839
from both men and women, people known as prostitutes. Stealing

259
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.319
her identity, JP took her cell phone and sent texts

260
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.359
to her family and friends pretending to be her. JP

261
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.599
sent emails and texts from her accounts to church members

262
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.920
and her family, pretending to be her and admitting she

263
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.640
was doing bad things his attempt to disgrace her name. Next,

264
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:51.200
cyber technology abuse. JP got access to her technology, changed

265
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.039
her passwords, took over accounts, and hacked her social media,

266
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.359
her iCloud, cell phone, and email. He posted on her

267
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:01.119
social media feed and then took her down and locked

268
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.759
her out of the account. He would text her about

269
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.319
details of where she was, who she was with, and

270
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.480
what she was wearing, or asked questions that only someone

271
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:15.160
who was there would know to ask. Medical abuse. JP

272
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.799
declared her bipolar, forced her to take lithium, monitored whether

273
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.160
she complied with taking the pills, and forcefully gave her

274
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:28.599
steroid quote testoserin shots in her arms, thighs, and buttocks.

275
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.559
JP would make her swallow pills in his presence, and

276
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.680
if he thought she did not take them, he would

277
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.640
cut them up and put them in her food. That

278
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.759
through his own admission spiritual abuse. JP knew how much

279
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.559
she adored and loved Jesus and the teachings in the Bible,

280
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.559
and that she wanted to be a good Christian, so

281
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.720
he used it against her. When she wanted a divorce,

282
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.000
he told her God hated divorce and that it is

283
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.039
a sin. When he would do terrible, terrible things to her,

284
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.240
he would tell her that God said she cannot judge him.

285
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:04.200
He's a good Questian and she should forgive him. Church abuse.

286
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.559
JP weaponized the church against her and often used the

287
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.839
pulpit to give sermons that were really messages to mica

288
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.160
A correct her ways, or were directives to her, or

289
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.960
sometimes used to demean her by name to the congregation.

290
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.480
She felt so strongly about tithing to the church, but

291
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.119
JP refused to tithe with his own church for about

292
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.720
four months, but he encouraged the congregation to do so,

293
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.839
and this was very upsetting to her. He wrote letters

294
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.799
to her on church letterhead for the purpose of harassment.

295
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:40.079
Next phone calls to everyone, JP found out she went

296
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.880
to another church and he called the pastor to explain

297
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.359
her issues. JP found out she got back in touch

298
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.799
with a female friend, so he called her to see

299
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.440
what was going on. JP called and texted her family,

300
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.119
her work. He called a roommate, her godmother, He called

301
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.440
members of the congregation. He even called her lawyer after

302
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.920
she passed the way to quote tell his side of

303
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.160
the story and to ask for MICA's retainer money to

304
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.359
be refunded to him. And that is freaking fallsy. Next,

305
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.359
physical abuse without March, JP finger punched her in the throat,

306
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.799
He held her up against the wall by her throat,

307
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.359
slapped a drink out of her hand, and while in

308
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.000
public together, he snatched a plate of food from her

309
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.839
and threw it. So if you needed a breakdown of

310
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.839
how allegedly fucked up this guy is there, you have

311
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.920
it in detail, and we'll continue on with that cover letter.

312
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.680
If you follow my suggestion and read Micah's list, she

313
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:44.079
should be reeling right now from disbelief and wonder on

314
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.279
how in the world anyone could do all these things

315
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.480
to a person and not be arrested or held accountable

316
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.799
in some way. But in the state of South Carolina,

317
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.279
we still have old domestic violence laws which recognize abuse

318
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.720
only as physical. If the police are called, they look

319
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.880
for black eyes, scratches, bruises, another physical proof of a crime,

320
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.160
and upon finding none, then no one is arrested and

321
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:12.200
the police leave as if they have no law to

322
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:16.200
refer to for the psychological crime of course of control.

323
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:21.839
Victims of psychological abuse suffer immeasurable damage, impacting self confidence,

324
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.000
self worth in every facet of their everyday life. What

325
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.599
married victims of psychological abuse are told, quote, this is

326
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.160
a domestic problem. You need to go to a family

327
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:38.759
court for help. Unquote. The abuser takes away phones, money,

328
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.079
and transportation, which makes that difficult, and it goes on

329
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.039
shocking news. I was astounded to discover that. Four years ago,

330
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:51.799
on February twentieth of twenty twenty, former Representative McClain tool

331
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:56.000
introduced into the House of Representative the Course of Control Bill.

332
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.200
The bill's purpose is to amend the South Carolina law

333
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.519
by adding a section to the title called Crimes and

334
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:09.200
Offenses to codify the offensive course of control over another person.

335
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.240
This is exactly what Mike's list is about, the many

336
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:18.319
behaviors exemplifying course of control over a person's liberty. That

337
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.319
bill was immediately that same day referred to the Committee

338
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.480
on Judiciary, where it quote died Three years ago on

339
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:32.119
January twelfth of twenty twenty one, Representative Robert May the

340
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.720
Third introduced the same course of Control bill again. On

341
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.200
the same day it was read to the House promptly

342
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.759
referred to the Committee on Judiciary, where it died for

343
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.200
the second time. Two and a half years ago, on

344
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:51.000
December seventh of twenty twenty one, Senator Katrina Sheeley introduced

345
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.000
the same course of control bill, with it finally being

346
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.400
introduced to the Senate, one would think it's got a chance.

347
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:57.759
Now.

348
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:00.400
On the same day it was read to the Senate,

349
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.680
it was promptly referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary,

350
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.559
where it again died for the third time. Now go

351
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.640
back and reread Micah's bill and notice that it follows

352
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:16.160
this proposed law, which clearly indicates that had the bill

353
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.759
been signed into law years ago, there is a possibility

354
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.200
that a warrant would have been issued for JP Miller's arrest.

355
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.200
Upon his arrest, he would have had to undergo a

356
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.279
no contact order, which could have protected Micah. That arrest

357
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.559
and no contact order could have provided that small window

358
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.960
she needed to escape his alleged abuse, and finally, assuming

359
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.960
her allegations were proven, he may have been convicted of

360
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.720
coercive control, which is a proposed felony, and sentenced to

361
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.640
jail for up to ten years. Sadly, we do not

362
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:53.039
know if Micah took her life because she was manic

363
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.319
or whether she possibly died in a way to escape

364
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.119
the alleged abuse. What we do know is that cos

365
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.640
troll is a real form of abuse that was recognized

366
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.599
by Evan Starr and codified by other states including Hawaii, California,

367
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.559
and Connecticut. So, based on the foregoing, I demand this

368
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.240
bill be reviewed expeditiously by both the Senate and the

369
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.359
House Committees on the Judiciary, and I ask you to

370
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.839
sponsor the bill and request that the name of the

371
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.640
bill be amended to Micah's Law. The clear goal of

372
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.319
this bill is to avoid any person from being psychologically

373
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.839
and systematically abused. Furthermore, for those that commit this form

374
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.359
of abuse to be held accountable. More importantly, if the

375
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.599
bill passed, it has the potential to save an immeasurable

376
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:46.200
number of victims from psychological abuse. I recognize and needs

377
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.960
more work that is evident by the sixteen additional factors

378
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.960
that I found missing from the bill and added to

379
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.119
Micah's list. I also believe that the bill needs to

380
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.960
include mandatory ankle monitors as part of the bomb requirements.

381
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:02.519
I believe that it would be more prudent to require

382
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.599
that a portion of the findes, fees and ankle monitor

383
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:09.000
costs be allocated to a domestic violence fund to be

384
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:14.440
used to provide free legal representation to victims of domestic violence.

385
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.400
The funds collected could pay for the salaries of one

386
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.759
attorney in every county to represent the victims in court.

387
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:24.720
I'm sure the General Assembly will see other improvements needed

388
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:26.839
as well. If I can be of service in any

389
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.000
way to get MICA's Law codified, please do not hesitate

390
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.160
to call me. I am hopeful the citizens of South

391
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.200
Carolina can count on you to support and be a

392
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.240
voice for MICA's Law, and confident you will see how

393
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:45.079
imperative this is for the protection of victims of abuse.

394
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:51.079
With kindness regards, I am Regina Ward Esquire Ward Law Firm,

395
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.759
and I'll tell you what that lady could not have

396
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:59.640
put that any better in my opinion, And just to

397
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.200
go over some of the highlights of that bill, because

398
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.960
I do have it in front of me, that bill

399
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.519
that she was referencing that had died so many times

400
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.720
when it would go to the Senate, I'll just touch

401
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:13.599
on that it says. Coercive behavior means an act or

402
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.640
pattern or acts of assault, threats, humiliation, manipulation, intimidation, or

403
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.440
other abuse, including emotional abuse that is used to harm, punish,

404
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:28.039
or frighten another person by fraudulent representation, and at least

405
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.400
the offensive course of control of another person may include,

406
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:35.240
but is not limited to, the following types of behavior.

407
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.240
Isolating a person from their family and friends, Depriving a

408
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:44.000
person of their basic needs, monitoring a person's time, monitoring

409
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:48.079
a person via online communication or spywar, taking control over

410
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.200
aspects of a person's everyday life, including where the person

411
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.279
may go, who they may see, and what they may wear,

412
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.400
even when a person may sleep. Depriving a person of

413
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:05.000
access to support services, including medical services. Repeatedly insulting a person,

414
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:10.960
including expressing the person's worthlessness, Enforcing rules and activities that humiliate,

415
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.680
to great or dehumanize a person. Forcing a person to

416
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:19.279
take part in criminal activity, including shoplifting or neglect or

417
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.119
abuse of children, to encourage the person's self blame and

418
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:28.720
prevent disclosure to authorities. Financial abuse, including control of finances,

419
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:33.279
and only allowing a person penitive allowance, threats to hurt

420
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.920
or kill, threats to a child, threats to reveal or

421
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.480
publish private information, or extort the person or member of

422
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:47.079
the person's family in retaliation by legal or other means, assault, rape,

423
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.680
preventing a person from having access to transportation. So that's

424
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:59.119
just some examples of that legislation. And look great legislation

425
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:04.240
there right should have passed with flying colors, well as

426
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:09.000
aggravating as it is, even after this, even after sending

427
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:15.400
that letter and all of this media hype surrounding mikeah

428
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.640
Miller in her case, I've done some pretty extensive research

429
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:24.519
trying to determine if that coercive control bill quote MICA's

430
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:29.000
Law ever passed in South Carolina, and I can't dig

431
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.720
up anything one way or the other regarding that. So

432
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.799
if you're listening and you're from South Carolina or you

433
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.920
have some direct knowledge, please reach out to me and

434
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.839
message me and let me know what the status is

435
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:47.640
with this bill where it stands, Did it stall as

436
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.839
it passed? Because I can't find it anywhere and it's frustrating.

437
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.599
This is a no brainer, So I'm going to summarize

438
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:02.559
some things that occurred over the ensuing months. On September

439
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.720
nineteenth of twenty twenty four, John Paul Miller starts suing everybody,

440
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.960
and he started with a paralegal that he sued for

441
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.440
slander and libel after she posted some videos on TikTok

442
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:19.640
and YouTube and her name was Melissa Mancerrey. And basically

443
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.079
at this point, he's threatening everybody. He's telling him he's

444
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:25.599
going to sue them for doing a podcast about him,

445
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:28.319
et cetera. And look, this is one of the reasons

446
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:33.880
I cover lawsuits because it's dissemination of public information and

447
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.039
there's nothing illegal about that. And I'm also entitled to

448
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.839
an opinion, and I always make sure that I state

449
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.799
quote in my opinion when i'm doing that. And the

450
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.759
reason I do that is to protect myself from letitious

451
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:53.920
people like JP Miller allegedly. Now moving on, on November first,

452
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.599
the FBI started searching JP's home and they were seen

453
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:02.240
carrying out items including a heater screen, a bunch of boxes,

454
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.160
an external hard drive. And they've been pretty tight leapt

455
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:10.359
on what that investigation reasoning was, but I'll get to

456
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.519
that a little later in this episode. On November third,

457
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.759
protesters gathered at Solid Rock Church. This was just days

458
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.000
after the FBI investigation, and it wasn't clear at that

459
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.440
point whether John Paul Miller was at the pulpit, but

460
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:28.440
police were on hand. They set up a perimeter, put

461
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:33.079
up barricades, etc. There were a ton of protesters out there.

462
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.759
On November sixth, JP Miller actually got arrested on an

463
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.079
assault charge after confronting a protester outside the church, and

464
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.839
the next day, on November seventh, he was released. Now,

465
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.519
according to everything that I've read, it was not a

466
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.240
physical assault. Apparently he got into it with a female protester.

467
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.119
They started cussing each other out, et cetera. But I

468
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.519
can't find anywhere where it turned actually physical. Nonetheless, he

469
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:06.279
was on an assault charge. Then, on February fifth of

470
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:13.000
twenty twenty five, a Myrtle Beach judge denied John Paul

471
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:17.279
Miller's request for a restraining order against a protester. He

472
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.799
made a claim that he had been harassed. The judge

473
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:25.599
denied that restraining order. So things are falling apart for

474
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:35.519
JP Miller, but nothing would match this. On February twenty

475
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.880
fifth of twenty twenty five, a little over a month ago,

476
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:49.319
John Paul Miller is accused of the rape of a

477
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:56.079
fifteen year old girl in the Shit Hits the Fan.

478
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.920
And guess what, I have that lawsuit in full and

479
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:06.880
I'm going to tell you everything that he is alleged

480
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.720
of doing, along with others that may or may not

481
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.720
surprise you, and I'll bring that all to you in

482
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:22.359
