United States of America v. Dylan Andrew Miller

Denver, Colorado, criminal defense lawyers represented the Defendant charged with deprivation of rights under color of law.

Dylan Miller, 30, a former Loveland, Colorado Police Department (LPD) officer, was on duty as a LPD officer the evening of Aug. 3, 2023, through the early morning of Aug. 4, 2023. Miller contacted the victim and her friend in North Lake Park and told the victim’s friend to leave. Miller then guided the victim to a more secluded area of the park, where he sexually assaulted her.

“Dylan Miller abused his power as a police officer to target, isolate, and sexually assault a minor in his care.

“Dylan Miller sexually assaulted a minor while on duty as a sworn law enforcement officer. His abuse of power and betrayal of trust are abhorrent,” said U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly for the District of Colorado. “Today, I think of the victim and hope she takes some solace knowing that a jury unanimously condemned the defendant’s criminal conduct and the court has now expressed how serious that conduct was with this lengthy prison sentence.”

“The actions of Mr. Miller were not only harmful to the individual he swore under oath to protect, but they also undermined public trust and confidence in law enforcement. The FBI will not tolerate those who abuse their positions of authority,” said Special Agent in Charge Amanda Koldjeski of the FBI Denver Field Office. “Thank you to Larimer County Sheriff's Office for their participation in the joint the investigation, as well as to Loveland Police Department for their cooperation.”

The FBI’s Denver Field Office, Loveland Resident Agency and the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case, with cooperation from the Loveland Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Alecia L. Riewerts for the District of Colorado and Trial Attorney Sarah E. Howard of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section prosecuted the case.

Defendant shall be imprisoned for a total term of two hundred and four (204) months, concurrent to any sentence imposed in Larimer County District Court, Case No. 2023CR1695, pursuant to §5G1.3(c). Five (5) years supervised release, $100.00 special assessment, no fine, and no restitution.
