A Lincoln man who molested boys and made sexually explicit videos of them in a daycare where he worked was sentenced to 42-63 years in prison.

This is in addition to a 100-year prison sentence that Titus Miller (28) is already serving on charges of child pornography with the same allegations.

When sentenced Monday in the state trial, Miller told the judge he knew he couldn’t fix things.

“I just want to say that I’m sorry, so sorry,” he said.

Lincoln Police are investigating the shooting near the 15th and D.

The police arrived quickly and found several used cartridge cases and living areas in front of the building and the house next door. The victim turned up at a Lincoln hospital shortly afterwards.

Lancaster County’s assistant attorney Nathan Sohriakoff told Lancaster County’s district judge Jodi Nelson that what Miller did was unforgivable and the damage he did may never be repaired.

But he’s still human, said Sohriakoff, and there’s little to be gained by locking him up indefinitely.

On the other hand, Lancaster County’s assistant attorney Amy Goodro called it “one of the most troubling and terrifying cases to have happened here in Nebraska.”

Police ransacked Miller’s Lincoln home on October 22, 2019 and found thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos of child pornography on his cell phone. Some had been accepted into Playful Painters Child Care, where Miller worked as a night watchman.

Miller later pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a first degree child, a charge involving two victims and an aggravated third degree charge involving four.

According to the LFR, the welder started a campfire at the North Lincoln cardboard company

Captain Nancy Crist said the seven employers had disappeared from the building when the crews arrived. The fire brigade continued to work well into the afternoon to remove the layers of cardboard and extinguish the fire completely.

All were boys between the ages of 5 and 7.

Goodro said it was difficult enough to find good childcare, and when families found a place they trusted to leave their children there, the unthinkable happened.

“I can’t even imagine what these boys, their parents, their carers, and their loved ones go through every day,” she said.

Goodro said a little boy’s older sister, only 8, accused herself of not protecting him. Her father accuses himself of punishing his daughter when Miller said she was behaving and refusing to go to sleep.

“It’s not your fault. It’s Mr. Millers,” she said.

Miller was caught after sending some of the videos to a man arrested in Alabama and then to FBI agents working undercover. They arrested Miller on the day of the search.

In the end, Nelson said Miller’s only job and responsibility was to look after the children, keep them safe, and protect them.

“He did not appreciate this trust. He acted out of his own selfish and prurient interests and sexually assaulted several children in his care,” said the judge.

Nebraska State Patrol spokesman Cody Thomas said the soldier tried to stop traffic near the Crete exit, but the car did not stop, resulting in a chase.

Due to a mandatory minimum term, Miller would have to serve nearly 30 years before qualifying for parole.

It is due to be served after his federal sentence, which Miller is appealing.
