A West Columbia man faces decades in jail for sexually abusing a minor.

SC Attorney General Alan Wilson announced recently the arrest of Daniel Wayne Robert Miller, 37, of West Columbia, on 5 charges connected to the sexual exploitation of minors.

Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest. Investigators with the Attorney General’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the U.S. Secret Service, all also members of the state’s ICAC Task Force, assisted with the investigation.

Investigators received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) which led them to Miller. Investigators state Miller engaged in criminal sexual conduct with a minor and produced multiple files of child sexual abuse material.

Miller was arrested on June 3. He is charged with 2 counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, 1st degree; and 3 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, 1st degree, felonies punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment on each count.
