Wayne County men charged with sex crimes
RICHMOND, Ind. — Two Wayne County men have been arrested on sex-crime charges.
Dustin Michael Miller, 29, of Greensfork, was charged May 12 in Wayne Superior Court 1 with two counts of child molesting, one a Level 1 felony carrying up to 40 years in prison, and the other a Level 4 felony with a maximum 12-year sentence.
Court documents indicate the allegations against Miller stem from events that took place in March 2020.
However, documents, including a probable cause affidavit, were sealed as of Monday and not available for public review.
Miller was arrested last week and continued to be held in the Wayne County jail on Tuesday under a $50,000 bond.
