Ohio Congressman Max Miller publicly released hundreds of private messages, recordings, photographs, and court-related documents while attempting to defend himself against allegations made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno.

The Dropbox folder included private information about their two-year-old daughter and an unredacted image showing her undressed. Moreno’s lawsuit alleges that the image showed the child’s genitalia. Miller and his attorney dispute that characterization, but attorney Aaron Minc acknowledged that the image should never have been released and accepted responsibility for the error.

Matt Diemer and Laura Rodriguez-Carbone examine how such sensitive material reached the internet, whether Miller adequately reviewed what he released, and why he has not taken more personal responsibility as the child’s father.

They also discuss the important distinction between an irresponsible disclosure and an intentional effort to exploit a child. The release was reckless and avoidable, but that does not establish that Miller intentionally distributed sexual material involving his daughter.

Emily Moreno is now suing Miller and Minc, seeking damages for the alleged disclosure. Miller denies the underlying abuse allegations and says the photograph has been taken out of context.
