Police Confirm Open Probe Into Allegations Involving Rep. Max Miller's Daughter

A hearing in two weeks could reshape custody arrangements.

Overview

  • Bay Village police say the case remains an open investigation, and a county child-protection specialist met with an officer about the suspected abuse report.
  • Emily Moreno asked a court to grant her sole custody, alleging the congressman uses aggressive and demeaning language and engages in dangerous behavior around their two-year-old.
  • Max Miller denies wrongdoing, seeks court-ordered psychological evaluations, and shared a county letter that labeled a Feb. 19 abuse allegation as unsubstantiated.
  • Reporters note police looked into a broken collarbone and a bruised shoulder that occurred while Miller was watching the child, yet police have not released any conclusions and the probe is still active.
  • 'Unsubstantiated' in child-welfare findings means investigators did not find enough evidence to confirm abuse, which can coexist with an open police file as courts weigh new motions and a hearing approaches.
