A former Loveland Police Department officer, Dylan Miller, was found guilty by a jury of violating the civil rights of a minor through sexual assault while on duty. The verdict came after a trial lasting more than two weeks.
According to evidence presented at the trial, Miller was working as an officer on the night of August 3, 2023, into the early morning hours of August 4. During his shift, he approached a minor and her friend in North Lake Park. After instructing the victim’s friend to leave, Miller led the victim to a secluded part of the park and sexually assaulted her.
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 from the FBI’s Denver Field Office jointly announced the verdict.
“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 including the FBI’s Denver Field Office and Loveland Resident Agency, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, and support from Loveland Police Department.
The prosecution team included Assistant U.S. Attorney Alecia L. Riewerts for Colorado and Trial Attorney Sarah E. Howard from the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section.
