Personal life
On March 19, 2016, Miller married writer Crystal Meers.[4]
Allegation of rape
On November 17, 2017, actress Aurora Perrineau (daughter of actor Harold Perrineau) filed a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department alleging Miller, then age 35, had raped her in 2012 when she was age 17. Miller has denied the accusation.[5] On August 10, 2018, after an investigation in response to the police report of Perrineau, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office formally declined to file charges against Miller by reason of the statute of limitations for prosecution of statutory rape had passed, and further declined prosecution for rape on any other grounds due to "inconsistencies which cannot be overcome" and the delay in reporting the case.[6][7]
Lena Dunham, a long time Miller collaborator, spoke out to say Miller had changed his story multiple times and to apologize to the victim.[8]
After falsely stating that his accuser demanded money, Miller's lawyers had to publicly retract their false and defamatory statement.[9]
