A federal grand jury in Vermont has indicted Timothy Miller, a Mennonite missionary who is accused of aiding Lisa Miller (no relation) in abducting 9-year-old Isabella Miller-Jenkins and taking her to Nicaragua.
According to the Associated Press, the indictment was dated May 12. According to an AP update, Timothy Miller remains free on bond.
Lisa Miller entered a Vermont civil union in 2000 with her then-partner, Janet Jenkins. After conceiving Isabella, Miller declared herself to be an “ex-lesbian” evangelical Christian and absconded to Virginia with Isabella in violation of family-court rulings granting visitation rights to Jenkins. In an interview with Christian media, Miller acknowledged a past of emotional instability and abuse, and indicated that she had not been sexually attracted to Jenkins despite her claim to be ex-lesbian. In late 2009, after years of adverse court rulings, Miller fled the country with Isabella, and full legal custody of Isabella was granted to Jenkins in Miller’s absence.
CBN News says Timothy Miller could face up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
And I hope he gets the full sentence. Wonder if they got the mother and child back out of Nicaragua?
I hope he gets the full sentence and / or fine as well. It’s high time the uber religious nutcases in America learn that there are legal repercussions for their actions in the real world, and that their bible doesn’t automatically trump the laws of society.
