After she came out of the bathroom, Doe met Miller standing outside of his father’s office. He spoke to her again before forcing her into the office. Miller “immediately became aggressive, physically overpowering Plaintiff and forcing her against the wall,” said the suit. The suit alleges she struggled and begged him to stop, but he persisted, dragging her outside to his truck, where he raped her.

“Following the sexual assault, Plaintiff remained silent about what had occurred with JPM and was overcome by shock, shame, and fear,” said the suit. “In the following months, Plaintiff exhibited clear signs of trauma, including severe depression, social withdrawal from family and friends, declining academic performance and emotional distress and self-doubt.” 

The suit says that when Doe learned of Mica Miller’s death, Doe “suffered immense guilt…believing that had she spoken up sooner, she might have prevented further harm to others.” 

The lawsuit demands a jury trial, and John-Paul Miller and Reginald Wayne Miller have 30 days from the filing of the suit to respond.
