Man cleared in Nashotah House sexual assault trial
By Betsy Thatcher of the Journal Sentinel staff
August 17, 1996
Waukesha -- A Connecticut man Friday became the second man associated
with the Nashotah House Episcopal seminary to be acquitted of charges
that he sexually assaulted a teenage boy at the seminary in the 1980s.
Three other men similarly accused have been convicted of sexual assault.
A Waukesha County Circuit Court jury found Anthony G. Miller, 36, not
guilty of three counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child. The
boy told police Miller assaulted him at the Delafield seminary in 1988
when he was 14.
On the witness stand Friday, Miller adamantly denied having any sexual
contact with the boy, who was living at the institution with his family
at the time.
Miller declined to comment after the verdicts were read Friday night but
embraced his attorney, Leonard Adent, of Waukesha, and smiled at the
jury.
His accuser said in reaction to the verdicts, "Total and complete
disbelief."
"He has to answer to a higher court now," the accuser said.
Former Episcopal priest Eugene Maxey and former seminarian Charles
McCray pleaded no contest to sexual assault for molesting the boy. They
are serving prison terms.
Russell Martin, an Episcopal priest, was convicted by a jury of sexual
assault and also was sentenced to prison.
Jason Samuel, an Episcopal priest who was similarly charged, was
acquitted in July 1995.
