Mark Allan Miller, 35, from Rowlett, Texas, was indicted in June 2020, and in March 2022, he pleaded guilty to two counts of production of child pornography. Miller's shocking actions came to light when the victim's father walked in on him while raping his daughter (who was 9 years old then).

According to court documents, the incident occurred on 12 January 2020. The victim's father informed the police that Millerwho had been his friend for over 10 yearswas spending the night at their home. He explained that he heard a noise and went to inspect it. Upon entering the living room, where Miller had been sleeping, he found that Miller was missing.

He immediately rushed to his daughter's room where he found Miller raping her on the floor. While he reached out to the police and waited for them to arrive, he held Miller at gunpoint. Describing his relationship with the victim as "a little too close," Miller confessed to law enforcement authorities that he had been touching the child inappropriately for years.

The victim was taken to the hospital immediately and to the Rockwall Children's Advocacy Center after that. There, the authorities received confirmation that she had been raped by Miller on several occasions. It was also learnt that he not only photographed the child's genitals but also showed the pictures to her.

Miller's interrogation revealed several horrific details about his abusive ways. Upon being confronted by authorities about the victim's photos, he confessed to producing child pornography. Through forensic analysis of the electronic devices owned by Miller, law enforcement officials found that he had taken 132 images and made at least five videos of pornographic nature: all of which involved the victim. Some of the images dated back to two years, when the child was only seven years old.

During the sentencing hearing that was held on Thursday, a forensic analyst from the Rockwall Police Department testified that over 8,000 pornographic images of other children were also found on the electronic devices owned by Miller. It was also revealed in the testimony that the rapist had used a sexually explicit image of the victim (the current case) as a screen saver. Miller was handed the statutory maximum sentence by Jane J. Boyle, District judge of the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Great of the father for stopping this monster and getting the authorities to haul him away, but I can't imagine that he will be trustful of any of his friends going forward. He and this guy were friends for over 10 years, and the guy still raped his child.

Yea I remember a story of a father who beat the rapist to death, in this very same scenario. He got away with it. Courts considered it justified homicide

Heck, there was that one major instance that became a sort of controversy, I forget the name, but essentially the father snuck through the crowd and shot the similarly-convicted criminal right in the head. Later it was revealed that he was friendly with a lot of people involved, and they all essentially let him, and the court ruled in his favor. It became a sort of "but what about true rule of law?" thing. I'll see if I can find it.

The shooter was Gary Plauche. I read about that a while back. Apparently, even his son (the boy who was kidnapped/molested in that case) felt that his father went too far, since the guy was already in custody.

He will be 95 when he can get out. Most men do not live that long. Prison life is very tough on your health. I'd be curious to know if anyone in all history has lived to 95 while in prison

Someone needs to say it: yeah, it's thought policing, but you know what? Sometimes you have to do it for the good of society.

Anyone who EVER says "rape is hot," needs to be jailed. Period, no exceptions. They have demonstrated absolutely no societal value by expressing such an abhorrent and vile train of thought. We can absolutely do without people like that, regardless of whether or not they've actually done anything.

B-b-but muh Constitution!

No, you can't be allowed to express some sentiments in a functional society of laws and ethics. There is no excuse.

I am willing to bet a whole lot of money that the guy will suffer more in prison, and the girl is a bit less traumatized, maybe.

I cant even begin to fathom how the father mustve felt. Your child daughter...a good friend. Why people do this? To an innocent child?! I know pedophilia is a disease and some have self control, but you also gotta be a sociopath to act on it. Not caring about any of the consequences like fucking up the child for life. Breaking the trust you had with the father. Thats a monster and he will pay heavily in prison.

I can understand why the father didn't shoot his daughter's abuser. He's unarmed, in his home, and completely under control. I don't believe the stand your ground doctrine would apply here. Besides that, I don't think he would want to kill his own friend in front of his already traumatised daughter. Not for a mote of vengeance.

Could not have held it back. Would have dragged the guy into the street and pounded his face until it was gone. The dad is a better man than I. Now the rapist gets to find out if all those stories you hear about prison are true.

I hope the daughter is able to get the therapy necessary to cope with what happened to her.

And I hope the final fate of the rapist isn't quick.

I always feel worst for the kids, because they will forever be scarred one way or another whether they want to admit it or not. I just hope the best for the girl that she gets some real good professional help for this kind of trauma.

Not going to comment on the actual rapist because it would definitely get me moderated as well. Frankly, he doesn't even deserve to be in the spotlight. The main story should be about the Dad not pulling the trigger.

Hadn't heard about this but holy shit, he only served 16 years. Kidnapped, tortured and raped her for four days while live streaming. He got arrested again (for violating parole by looking at porn) but has been out for a year now.

Hopefully he had sense to remove her out of the room/home while the police were coming.

But yeah, he should have saved the taxpayers some money and just pumped him full of lead.
