Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife sued him and his attorney, alleging that an image of their young daughter was publicly shared in documents Miller released online. His attorney apologized for publishing an unedited image but disputed that it showed the child’s genitals.
Emily Moreno filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that Miller and his attorney recklessly published a nude image of their 2-year-old daughter. The suit says the image was available to download for 23 hours and seeks $150,000 in damages for each download.
Miller had released documents through a public Dropbox account during a livestream defending himself against Moreno’s domestic-violence allegations. His attorney, Aaron Minc, apologized for inadvertently publishing an unedited image and said he deleted it after discovering it; he later disputed that the child’s genitals were visible. Miller and Minc did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The article also reports that the House Ethics Committee is investigating allegations from Moreno, which Miller has dismissed as fabrications, and that Miller plans to continue his reelection campaign. Democrats have added his challenger, Brian Poindexter, to a priority program that provides campaign resources and support.
