Jeff Miller expected to resign from Indianapolis/Marion Co. Council amid child molestation charges

Jeff Miller on Friday told Marion County Republican leaders he will step down from the City-County Council after prosecutors charged him with three counts of child molestation.

Miller faces three level 4 felony counts of child molestation, according to court records in which he is quoted as acknowledging there might be truth to the allegations.

Each charge would carry a sentence of two to 12 years in prison if Miller is convicted. He was arrested Friday afternoon.

Miller is accused of fondling two young girls at his Fletcher Place house, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Friday in Marion Superior Court. The 50-year-old Republican council member did not respond to requests for comment.
