Prosecutor calls it the worst case of child porn they've ever seen

CASNOVIA, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A prosecutor has called it the worst case of child porn they've ever seen.

 

On Thursday, a judge arraigned Kevin Miller on three counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct with a child under thirteen.

 

On top of that, county investigators and the FBI say they found more than 33,000 pornographic photos on Miller's hard drives, all of them involving children.

 

More serious, federal, charges against Miller could be coming.

 

"Total shock, he's a nice guy, quiet, polite," said Beverly Klinger.

 

That used to be how many in the small town of Casnovia, in Muskegon County, thought of Kevin Miller. Now, they are stunned after learning what he's been accused of.

 

"I was just sick, you hear in big towns, this little community, it's a shock to everyone," said Linda Simons.

 

Miller is a familiar face to many in Casnovia. He grew up in the area, and still lived with his parents in a home set back off Newaygo Road. He worked at a local gas station.

 

Now, the details of what federal agents found when they went in his home are laid out in an affidavit. Agents investigating a child pornography group traced the user named 'Trade3-13' to Miller's home. When they went there, the computer was up and running under that name.

 

Investigators say they've found 35,000 images and videos of child pornography. They also found three video's of Miller performing sex acts with three boys.

 

The current first degree criminal sexual conduct charges stem from the images of him with a known, six-year-old, victim.

 

Miller is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in early June.
