Terrell man sentenced to life in prison for continuous sexual assault of a child

Evidence at trial showed that Miller had sexually assaulted victims from the ages of four to 14. Terrell police executed a search warrant on Jan. 6, 2020 of the defendant’s home, locating photos and videos of child sex abuse. Investigators additionally found what appeared to be a camera and other electronic material in a burn pile in the back yard. During the three-day trial, jurors heard from an additional nine-year-old victim, who was assaulted in Miller’s home in Terrell.

Miller’s case was heard by Judge Shelton Gibbs in the 422nd Judicial District Court.

District Attorney Erleigh Norville Wiley announced the conviction on Dec. 8.

The prosecution was led by Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Ashley Holman and Taylor McConnell, Crimes Against Children Investigator Brandi Dial and Paralegal Amanda Morris.

Additionally, the District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Terrell Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, Kaufman County Sheriff’s Department Digital Forensics, and the victims who showed bravery while facing the perpetrator at trial.

District Attorney Wiley told media, “Mr. Miller preyed upon young children in our very own community, and we are grateful to the Kaufman County jury who ensured he will never have that opportunity again,” Wiley said in a statement.
