Rep. Max Miller denied his ex-wife’s abuse allegations in an X livestream and disputed her account of incidents involving her and their daughter. The dispute has drawn calls for his resignation and scrutiny of his Ohio House race.
Miller used a livestream to deny allegations by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and said there was no evidence against him. He disputed specific claims, described an incident involving hot water as horseplay, and said child-welfare investigations into allegations involving his daughter did not substantiate abuse by him. Those are Miller’s characterizations; the article also says records released through court proceedings showed that authorities did not substantiate several allegations involving his daughter.
Moreno has offered a different account in court and to police, and her spokesman rejected Miller’s livestream. Sen. Bernie Moreno called for Miller to resign, while Rep. Shontel Brown and Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, also called for his resignation or criticized his conduct. The article says Democrats have requested a House Ethics Committee investigation, but does not report that one has been opened.
