Ex-doctor given 18 years on sex, child porn charges

Man drugged wife, her daughter; solicited men to have sex with them.

WEST PALM BEACH — A North Palm Beach former doctor is going to prison for 18 years for drugging his now former wife and her 29-year-old special-needs daughter and then soliciting men in Craigslist ads to have sex with them without their knowledge.

Stuart Michael Miller, 64, of North Palm Beach’s exclusive Old Port Cove neighbor- hood, pleaded guilty Monday to a host of sexual battery and pornography charges, including one connected to allegations he posed minors in sexual positions after feeding them sleeping-pill-laced ice cream. With Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Glenn Kelley’s permission Monday, Miller’s ex-wife turned to him and forced him to face her one last time.

“You are pure evil,” she told Miller in court. “Pure and simply evil.”

After the hearing, the woman, whose name is being with-

held because she was a victim of a sexual crime, told The Palm Beach Post that she and Miller had been together for four years, when a Palm Beach County sheriffff ’s detective in 2012 confronted her with the unthinkable: that at least three men had taken Miller up on his Craigslist ads and had sex with her or her daughter inside their Old Port Cove condo.

Under the agreement between Assistant State Attorney Gregory Schiller and Assistant Public Defender Christine Geraghty, Miller pleaded guilty to charges of sexual battery on a mentally defective person or physically helpless person, solicitation to commit sexual battery, child pornography possession, video voyeurism and other charges.

Kelley also deemed Miller a sexual predator based on the multiple sex crimes that Miller was accused of committing in his waterfront condo.

Among other crimes, Palm Beach County sheriffff ’s detectives and prosecutors say Miller placed cameras in the bathrooms of the home and surreptitiously recorded the women while they were naked. The ex-wife lived with him. Her daughter lived in an independent living facility but came over often to visit.

Not only had he drugged his now-ex-wife and her daughter, but deputies said in 2012 that he also spiked the ice cream he served one of his minor relatives and the relative’s young girlfriend and then undressed them both and photographed them in sexually compromising positions. Deputies found the sleeping pill Triazolam directly behind a box of ice cream in the couple’s refrigerator when they raided Miller’s home
