Rep. Max Miller is facing a federal lawsuit alleging a public Dropbox folder he shared contained a nude image of his young daughter. His lawyer says the disclosure was an unintentional mistake, while Miller called it awful and disputed that it was reckless.
Emily Moreno filed the lawsuit on behalf of the couple’s daughter, alleging that Miller and his lawyer, Aaron Minc, recklessly disclosed the image. The complaint says the folder was online for hours; Moreno’s lawyers said it was seen or interacted with by more than 400,000 people. She is seeking $150,000 for each alleged access, transfer, distribution, publication or download.
Minc accepted responsibility for assembling and reviewing the folder and said he missed the final pages of a document while removing sensitive information. He said the exposure was unintentional and that the image remained online for about 23 hours. Miller called the release awful but pushed back against criticism that it was shockingly reckless. Miller denies Moreno’s abuse allegations, and his Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, has called for him not to remain in office.
