The PA Announcer for the Oklahoma City Thunder is behind bars Thursday night on three felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child under 16.
Even before Jim Miller's arrest, News 9 was at the jail waiting for him to arrive at the jail's ally port. However, jail employees say Miller was treated differently; brought in through the main entrance of the county jail.
Just as Miller was arrested, the organization was quick to send out a statement from Thunder Vice President Dan Mahoney, saying in part:
"Due to the allegations and criminal case against him...Mr. Miller has been removed from his duties as Thunder PA announcer."
According to court documents, three children, all under the age of 16 at the time, say Miller forced them to watch him masturbate as he viewed pornography on his computer. Two of the alleged victims also report sexual abuse.
During the course of the investigation, OSBI seized Miller's computer.
Court documents state: "The OSBI was able to capture 449 pornographic images from the computer's storage devices and hard drive."
Miller had been with the Thunder for all four of the team's seasons in Oklahoma City. He is currently a teacher and Tennis coach at Harrah High School. The investigation does not currently point to any students from Harrah High School as victims in this case.
Miller's bond has been set at $30,000. Police say Miller calls all of the alleged incidents accidental.
Sources close to the case tell News 9 Miller could face additional charges.
