Convicted sex offender pleads guilty to lewdness charges after prison release

A Las Vegas man who was previously convicted of distributing child sexual abuse material pleaded guilty this week to charges that he inappropriately touched a child after his release from prison.

Devin Miller, 34, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of lewdness with a child under 16, according to District Court records. Miller initially faced charges of sexual assault with a child under 14 and two counts of lewdness with a child under 14.

Miller’s inappropriate contact occurred on July 19, 2025, according to the criminal complaint. Prosecutors noted in court filings that Miller was sentenced to 12 years in prison after he was convicted in Nevada U.S. District Court of distributing child pornography in 2015. Federal records show Miller was ordered to 40 years probation after his release.

Online records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show Miller, who is a registered sex offender in Nevada, was released from prison on Dec. 20, 2024.

Court records also show Miller faced allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct involving children before his federal conviction. Two incidents involving alleged conduct when Miller was a juvenile were investigated in 2004 and 2009 but did not result in criminal charges.

A separate 2009 incident resulted in a juvenile adjudication, according to court records. Miller’s attorney, Robert Draskovich, said in filings that Miller disclosed the conduct to a counselor, accepted responsibility and complied with sanctions.

The Clark County district attorney’s office said in a statement that the plea deal was made after consulting with the victim’s family.

“As in almost all cases, in this case negotiations were a product of an assessment of the evidence relative to the State’s burden of proof at trial, pretrial rulings, the need to protect the community, and in consultation with the victim’s family,” the read.

Draskovich did not respond to a request for comment.

Records from Tuesday’s hearing show Miller entered an “Alford” plea, meaning he maintained his innocence while acknowledging that prosecutors have enough evidence to secure a conviction at trial.

Each charge brings a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, court records show. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 5.

Miller remained in custody at the Clark County Detention Center as of Friday, according to online jail records.
