Less than a year after his wife Mica Miller's suspicious death, Pastor John-Paul Miller of Solid Rock at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has been accused of raping a 15-year-old girl more than 25 years ago and sexually assaulting her again in 2023.

The allegations against John-Paul Miller by the woman identified as Jane Doe #1 from Indiana appear in a 43-page lawsuit filed in the Horry County Circuit Court in South Carolina Tuesday.

Named as defendants are Miller, his father Reginald Wayne Miller, and their connected religious organizations: All Nations Cathedral Church, Cathedral Baptist Church of the Grand Strand, and Solid Rock Ministries.

Many of Pastor John-Paul Miller's critics have argued he played a role in his late wife's death, which he has denied. He has not been charged in connection with her death, even after an FBI search of his home last November.

In December 1982, Morris was a traveling evangelist visiting in Hominy with the family of the victim, who was 12 at the time. The indictment finds Morris's sexual misconduct began that Christmas, and continued over the next four years. In all, Morris faces five counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child.

Morris resigned from Gateway Church on June 18th, just days after Clemishire reported that he began sexually abusing her on December 25th 1982. She said the abuse continued for four-and-a-half years before it came to light. But Morris was later allowed to return to ministry.

In June 2024, Morris threatened to file criminal charges against his victim. Later that same month, he called his victim, asking her to "put a price" on dropping her accusations.

A Jefferson County pastor and school bus driver is being accused of sexually exploiting children. On Wednesday, Elvis Colenberg turned himself in to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. He is being charged with one count of exploitation of children.

Investigators said Colenberg forced a 14-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl to have sex with each other on the school bus he was driving. The female student told law enforcement this happened roughly 20 times.

The 14-year-old male student was not a normal bus rider. Colenberg would pick him up from another location. The pastor would drop all the other students off at their homes until it was just the 14-year-olds left. That’s when he would force them to have sex while he sat back and watched.
