TULSA, OKLA. — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)), published as received.
TULSA, Okla. – A repeat felon was sentenced today for Abusive Sexual Contact with a Minor Under 12 in Indian Country, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
U.S. District Judge John D. Russell sentenced Blake Alan Miller, 42, of Muscogee to 360 months imprisonment, followed by lifetime supervised release. Upon his release, Miller will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Court dockets show that Miller has a lengthy criminal history that spans more than 20 years. In 2016, Miller was arrested and charged in state court on drug-related charges. Shortly after, Miller was indicted and detained in the Eastern District of Oklahoma on federal charges of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, among other charges. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 180 months of imprisonment in 2018. Once he was imprisoned, a minor victim disclosed that Miller sexually abused them from 2011 through 2016, until his arrest. Court records show that Miller sexually abused the child victim and introduced that prepubescent child to pornography. The child told a case worker that they felt safe coming forward once Miller was in prison.
Miller is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The FBI investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kate Brandon prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
