Rep. Max Miller sued by ex‑wife over alleged posting of daughter's nude photo

Rep. Max Miller (R‑Ohio) faces a federal lawsuit filed by his ex‑wife, Emily Moreno, on Wednesday. Moreno alleges that Miller “recklessly published and disclosed to the world a nude image” of their young daughter, claiming the photo was posted online without the child’s consent. The suit, obtained by The Hill, accuses the congressman of violating privacy and child‑protection laws by distributing the image.

The complaint details that the image was shared on a social media platform and subsequently disseminated through other channels, exposing the child to a wide audience. Moreno seeks damages for the alleged harm to her daughter’s safety and well‑being, and requests that the court order Miller to remove the photo and prevent further distribution. Miller’s legal team has not yet issued a public response to the allegations.

If the court finds the claims credible, the case could raise significant questions about digital privacy and the responsibilities of public officials. The lawsuit underscores the growing scrutiny over how personal content is shared online, especially when minors are involved.
