Emily Moreno, the ex-wife of U.S. Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, sues him in federal court, alleging he posted a nude image of their young daughter online. According to the lawsuit, Miller “recklessly published and disclosed to the world a nude image” of the child.
Moreno’s complaint says the image was shared through a public link and was viewed a large number of times. The Hill reports the filing includes allegations that the congressman’s actions involved reckless disclosure of the child’s image. Fox News adds that the link was hosted on Dropbox and was accessed hundreds of thousands of times.
Both outlets frame the matter as an allegation in a civil lawsuit. The coverage does not provide details on any response from Miller or the status of the case. The dispute centers on whether Miller shared the image and whether that conduct violates applicable laws regarding the exploitation or disclosure of minors’ images.
