Miller Sentenced To Prison For Sexual Assault

​An Antelope County man was sentenced to six to ten years in the Nebraska Department of Corrections.
 
Mykel Miller pled guilty to attempted sexual assault of a minor, a Class 2 A felony. Miller won’t have to pay any fees and will get credit for the 206 days he already spent in jail.
 
Because Miller was under the age of 25 when the incident occurred, he will not be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. Instead, Miller will be on the list for 25 years following his release.  The court also ordered for DNA to be collected after his release.
 
Miller was represented by Pat Carney, a court appointed attorney. Carney said Miller was under the impression that the 13-year-old victim was 19 or 20, which was posted as her age on the dating app where they met.  He said other indications let Miller to believe she was of consenting age.
 
However, a letter from the mother of the victim said she informed Miller that the victim was actually 13 years old.

Miller's mother also wrote a letter explaining her experiences with Miller lying in the past. 
 
Furthermore, Miller's past criminal record includes a fraud charge.
 
The compilation of evidence and personal testimony led Judge Mark Johnson to say that although Miller is not likely to find himself in the same circumstance of committing attempted sexual assault, he is likely to commit another crime unless mental help intervenes.
