A Las Vegas man sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for a child pornography conviction has pleaded guilty to new charges involving a child; the alleged contact occurred less than a year after his release. Devin Miller, 34, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of lewdness with a child under 16, entering what's known as an Alford plea — meaning he maintains his innocence while acknowledging prosecutors had enough evidence to likely convict him at trial.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the criminal complaint states Miller's inappropriate contact with the child occurred on July 19, 2025. Miller, who is a registered sex offender in Nevada, had been released from prison on December 20, 2024, after serving time on a prior conviction.
That earlier case has been described differently across outlets. The Review-Journal reports Miller was convicted in Nevada U.S. District Court of distributing child pornography in 2015 and sentenced to 12 years in prison, while 8 News Now reports he was convicted in federal court for possession of child pornography in 2016 and sentenced to 12 years followed by 40 years of supervised release. The Review-Journal separately reports that federal records show Miller was ordered to 40 years of probation following his release.
Plea Deal Followed Talks With Victim's Family
The Clark County district attorney's office said the plea agreement was reached after consulting with the victim's family, the Review-Journal reported. Each of the two lewdness counts Miller pleaded guilty to carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, according to court records cited by the outlet. His sentencing has been scheduled for January 5, 2027.
Court records also show two earlier allegations involving conduct when Miller was a juvenile, investigated in 2004 and 2009, that did not result in criminal charges. A separate 2009 incident, the same records indicate, did result in a juvenile adjudication.
Nevada Statute Addresses Lewdness With Children Under 16
The charges Miller pleaded guilty to fall under Nevada law listed as NRS 201.230, which the Nevada Legislature catalogs under the heading “Lewdness with child under 16 years; penalties.”
Miller's case adds to a string of federal prosecutions in Nevada tied to child exploitation material, an issue the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Nevada has pursued in separate cases. Under the plea agreement, the remaining counts will be dropped.
