Overview
- Democratic Women’s Caucus leaders and several House Democrats have asked the House Committee on Ethics to open a formal investigation into Rep. Max Miller based on recent reporting and records.
- A July profile drew from more than 2,000 pages of court filings and police records that include Emily Moreno’s allegations that Miller physically and emotionally abused her and may have injured their young daughter.
- Police investigators concluded the inquiry into the child’s broken collarbone was “unsubstantiated,” a finding that means there was insufficient evidence to support a neglect or abuse determination.
- A Cuyahoga County judge this week dismissed Miller’s domestic‑violence petition against his ex‑wife, finding he had not been harmed or shown to fear for his safety; Miller continues to deny the allegations and has filed civil suits in response.
- The case has split public and political reaction with Ohio’s Republican governor calling the accusations 'very serious,' no GOP House members publicly joining calls for an inquiry, and media outlets stressing different elements of the record and rulings.
