Heath Miller, a Palm Beach Gardens, Florida teacher, is at the root of two lawsuits against the Palm Beach County, Florida School Board, 2.5.13 Miller Sexual Assault.pdf say. The two separate suits are from from teenage girls who say they were sexually harassed by Miller, their former band director, in 2009. Miller is currently serving a prison sentence on charges from a separate sexual assault case. It is unclear whether the school board released a statement regarding the lawsuits.
According to reports, Miller previously worked as a band director at Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens. He was first accused of sexual assault at the school in 2009. Prosecutors sentenced Miller to 13 years behind bars in March after he took a plea deal and admitted to having sex with two underage girls and inappropriately touching two others. The alleged abuse took place within the school's band room, sources say. The Palm Beach County School Board granted two of those victims $150,000 in a lawsuit settlement earlier this year.
Now, two more victims claim Miller sexually assaulted them while they were attending classes at Watkins Middle School in April 2009. Court documents identified the girls only as "T.B." and "Jane Doe." It is unclear what kind of recompense the pair is seeking. It is also unclear whether Miller made a statement regarding the sexual abuse allegations. It is unclear whether any addition victims will come forward.
