Louisiana Man Sentenced in Virginia to 25 Years in Prison for Filming His Sexual Abuse of a Minor Girl
WASHINGTON – A Louisiana man was sentenced to 25 years in prison this morning in Lynchburg, Va., federal court, after previously pleading guilty to recording his sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl and related offenses, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia Timothy J. Heaphy.
Gregory Thomas Miller, 57, of Deville, La., pleaded guilty on April 27, 2012, to a 10-count indictment charging him with seven counts of production of child pornography, one count of transporting child pornography, one count of possessing child pornography and one count of marijuana possession.  Today’s sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon.

According to court documents, Miller repeatedly sexually abused a 14-year-old girl and filmed numerous incidents of the abuse during a several month period in 2008.  In October 2010, the defendant’s car was stopped by National Park Service (NPS) rangers at a DUI checkpoint in Virginia.  The defendant was in the car with the girl he had abused.  NPS Rangers quickly determined that a missing persons/runaway report for her had been recorded with the National Crime Information Center.

A search of the car revealed, among other things, a laptop computer, a digital camera and marijuana.  Forensic examination of the laptop revealed video clips of the 2008 abuse.

In addition to the prison term, Judge Moon sentenced Miller to serve a lifetime of supervised release.  Miller will also be required to register as a sex offender.

This case was investigated by the NPS and the FBI, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy S. Healey and Trial Attorney Darcy Katzin of the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.

Customs and Border Protection Officer Sentenced for Sexual Assault of Women at Miami International Airport:

Paulo Morales, 48, of Miami, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Robin S. Rosenbaum to 33 months in prison along with one year supervised release, the Justice Department announced.   In July, Morales , a former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of deprivation of rights under color of law.
During the plea proceedings, Morales admitted that on various dates in January 2011, while working as an officer with CBP at the Miami International Airport, he groped the breasts of three separate women without their consent and while they were in the custody of CBP.

“This officer abandoned his commitment to legitimate law enforcement and used his power to abuse women in his custody,” said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. “The Justice Department is committed to holding officers who engage in such conduct accountable.”
My office and the Department of Justice are fully committed to protecting the civil rights of our citizens from all types of abuses,” said Wifredo A. Ferrar, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. “In this case, the harm to the victims and the general public cut deep because it came at the very hands of someone who was sworn to serve and protect the public, and instead breached that trust.”

This case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Office of Professional Responsibility and CBP Internal Affairs and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney William White of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and Trial Attorney Henry Leventis of the Civil Rights Division.
