Las Vegas police have arrested a local volleyball coach on a slate of child sex-related charges, and detectives are warning the community that more potential victims may be out there.
Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Sexual Assault Detail arrested 26-year-old Levi Miller on June 9 and booked him into the Clark County Detention Center, according to authorities. Investigators said they believe there may be additional juvenile victims in the community and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Arrest and charges
In a post from LVMPD, police said Miller faces multiple counts that include sexual assault with a child under 16, three counts of lewdness involving a person 14 or 15 years old, child abuse or neglect, and battery by strangulation.
The department said Miller was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and did not release further details about where the alleged crimes took place. Prosecutors will decide whether to file formal charges as the investigation moves forward.
Local ties
Miller is listed on Vegas United Volleyball Club's staff directory as the club's Facilities/Operations director, a position that connects him to the organization’s youth programs and local activities. Vegas United includes his contact information on its staff page.
As of publication, the club had not issued a public statement about Miller’s arrest.
Police appeal
In its public post, LVMPD asked anyone with information to contact the Sexual Assault Detail at 702-828-3421. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers of Nevada at 702-385-5555 or through the group’s website.
Detectives said they believe there may be additional juvenile victims and urged anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist the investigation.
Pattern of similar cases
Police have issued similar public appeals in recent months after arresting adults with ties to local youth. Earlier this year, KTNV reported on cases in which LVMPD said there could be additional victims following the arrests of a teacher and a juvenile probation officer.
Authorities say those investigations highlight detectives’ focus on gathering any additional reports from people who were affected or who know about possible abuse.
Investigators said the probe into Miller is ongoing. As with all suspects, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. This report will be updated if prosecutors file formal charges or officials release more information.
