Ex-Loveland Officer Dylan Miller Gets 17 Years for On-Duty Sexual Assault of Minor

The sentence underscores federal enforcement of civil-rights protections against police abuse.

Overview

  • Miller, sentenced Monday in Denver, received 17 years in federal prison and five years of supervised release.
  • A federal jury on Dec. 2, 2025, found him guilty of depriving a person of civil rights under color of law, a charge used when an officer misuses official authority.
  • Evidence showed that on Aug. 3–4, 2023, he isolated a 15-year-old at Loveland’s North Lake Park after telling her friend to leave and then assaulted her while on duty.
  • Investigators from the FBI’s Denver Field Office and the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office led the case with cooperation from the Loveland Police Department, and DOJ civil-rights prosecutors tried it.
  • Separate state charges tied to the same incident remain pending in Larimer County District Court, with a hearing set for May 4.
