in April 2012.

By then, Miller was holed up in a hotel where deputies said he attempted suicide before his arrest. Afterward, they found a Palm Beach Gardens storage unit he owned and discovered a trove of child pornograph­y.

Deputies began investigat­ing Miller when Jason Peritz, who was convicted of charges of child pornograph­y possession, told Boynton Beach police that he had responded to Miller’s ad in June 2011 and had sex with an unconsciou­s woman he thought was Miller’s girlfriend while Miller watched.

Months later, investigat­ors found another man who said he, too, had answered a Craigslist ad. He said Miller watched him have sex with the woman three times, but the encounters stopped after Miller wanted him to have sex with both the woman and her daughter at the same time. The man said Miller was irate when he declined.

Both said Miller showed them child pornograph­y before the encounters and told them the woman they were with was merely pretending to be asleep as part of their role-play. A third man is shown in one of Miller’s photograph­s having sex with the special-needs daughter, and Miller also engaged in sex acts with her, according to arrest reports.

The ex-wife told police that Miller liked to watch her have sex with other men, and she had done that at times while blindfolde­d or with her eyes closed, but she did not consent to be drugged and had no idea the unconsciou­s encounters with the men on Craigslist had happened, the arrest reports said.

She later told The Post he was a former doctor.

According to federal court records and a 1994 Philadelph­ia Inquirer article, Miller, then 43 and living in North Palm Beach, was a doctor who pleaded guilty to drug traffiffic­king charges in Philadelph­ia federal court.

On Monday in court, the ex-wife described Miller as a con artist, master manipulato­r, rapist and “textbook sociopath.” She said the plea spared her daughter, who doesn’t fully understand what happened to her, from going through a trial.

“You deserve life,” she said of his sentence. “But I will accept this and hope you rot every single day.”
