A former officer with the Loveland Police Department in Colorado has been found guilty by a jury of violating civil rights for sexually assaulting a minor while on duty. The verdict was delivered after a trial that lasted over two weeks.
According to evidence presented during the trial, Dylan Miller, 30, was working as an officer with the Loveland Police Department on the night of August 3, 2023, into the early hours of August 4. During his shift, Miller approached a minor and her friend at North Lake Park. He instructed the victim’s friend to leave and then led the minor to a secluded area of the park where he committed sexual assault.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly for the District of Colorado, and FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Marv Massey of the FBI’s Denver Field Office jointly announced the outcome.
“The U.S. Marshals Service took Miller into custody following the jury’s verdict. Miller faces a maximum penalty of life in prison for the civil rights offense. Sentencing will be set for early 2026.”
The investigation involved cooperation between several agencies: The FBI’s Denver Field Office (including its Loveland Resident Agency), Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, and support from the Loveland Police Department.
Prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alecia L. Riewerts for the District of Colorado and Trial Attorney Sarah E. Howard from the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section.
