Washington County (August 21, 2022) – Daniel Miller has been charged with child molestation after Sandersville police received a phone call from Tippecanoe County Sherriff’s Office in Lafayette, Indiana, regarding a statutory rape case when a 14-year-old girl arrived in their ER department complaining of abdominal pain.
