Press Release Summary = The issue of clergy sexual abuse was again fired up in Los
Angeles after a former priest of the Roman Catholic sect was arrested on charges of
child molestation last Tuesday. This is incidentally five years after the previous
allegations of sexual abuse have been thrown out due to a ruling from the U.S.
Supreme Court canceling a statute of limitations extension in California for such
cases, as prosecutors have claimed. Sixty-nine years old George Miller was charged
with alleged sexual abuse of a boy during the period of March 1988 up to March 1991.
These incidents happened when Miller had been assigned as priest in Pacoima\'s
Guardian Angel Church, Los Angeles County.

with alleged sexual abuse of a boy during the period of March 1988 up to March 1991.
These incidents happened when Miller had been assigned as priest in Pacoima\'s
Guardian Angel Church, Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles, California, July 27, 2007 - The following facts of the case was
released through a statement from the district attorney\'s office.

Miller\'s arrest came approximately a week following the $660 million civil
settlement on the claims of 500 and more alleged clergy abuse victims, made by the
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Upon announcing Miller\'s arrest, the District Attorney Steve Cooley declared that
they their promised investigations regarding the alleged sexual abuse or
molestations of minors committed by priests are already underway.

According to the prosecutors, the victim was just a boy of 5 years old when Miller
had met him. The boy\'s mother was befriended by Miller and resulted to the frequent
visits of the priests in the home of the boy\'s family. Eventually, the friendship
and familiarity that developed made way for the priest being able to take the victim
out for overnight trips.

The charges on Miller were three counts of felony for lewd acts on a child and three
counts of sodomy of a person under the age of 14. He was also held on a bail bond of
$600,000. Miller would likely face 18 years imprisonment once he becomes convicted
for all of the charges.

The arraignment on the case was scheduled on Wednesday in the San Fernando Superior
Court.

Steven Cron, Miller\'s attorney did not supply immediate information or declaration
regarding the case. He also did not return a message by phone during Tuesday when
sought for comments regarding his client\'s arrest.

The alleged victim was given high praises and ensured with support by the Survivors
Network of those Abused by Priests. Their spokesperson, Barbara Dorris also said
that they are hoping to encourage and inspire others to speak up, avail of help and
have the law weigh down upon those guilty for such incidences.
