Regina Ward with Mica Miller - Ward is Fighting for a Coercive Control Law in SC
Breaking News: Regina Ward Speaks Out on Coercive Control in the Mica and JP Miller Case

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., — In an exclusive interview with CC News Network, prominent South Carolina attorney Regina Ward broke her silence on the Mica Miller case, exposing the insidious grip of coercive control and calling for urgent change in how these cases are handled legally and culturally.
Mica Miller’s death — initially reported as a suicide — has become a flashpoint for conversations about psychological abuse, particularly within high-profile marriages like her relationship with JP Miller, a pastor at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach.
Speaking candidly to CC News Network’s James Seidel, Ward pulled no punches:
“Coercive control is abuse, plain and simple. The scars might not show up on the skin, but they cut just as deep — and in many cases, they are what drive women to feel like they have no way out.”
Coercive Control: The Abuse You Can’t Always See
Regina Ward detailed the disturbing pattern of manipulation, isolation, and gaslighting that marked Mica Miller’s relationship with JP Miller.
“This was not a case of one bad fight or a troubled marriage,” Ward explained. “This was systematic control — restricting who she could talk to, controlling her access to money, monitoring her every move — all while manipulating her into believing it was her fault.”
According to Ward, this type of psychological chokehold is rarely recognized as abuse until it’s too late.
“We’ve conditioned society to only see abuse when there’s a black eye or a broken bone, but coercive control works by breaking the spirit. By the time victims realize they’re in danger, they feel completely powerless.”
JP Miller’s Role in the Spotlight
Regina Ward did not shy away from naming JP Miller — calling his behavior a textbook case of coercive control, even if South Carolina’s laws have yet to catch up.
“South Carolina has no formal law addressing coercive control,” Ward said. “We’ve seen states like California and Hawaii move forward with legislation recognizing it as a distinct form of domestic abuse, but here? Victims are left trying to fit psychological torment into laws that were written for physical violence.”
For Mica, Ward says, this legal void left her vulnerable, even though the warning signs were glaring in hindsight.
CC News Network’s Commitment to the Truth
Throughout our interviews, Ward has repeatedly praised CC News Network for its no-nonsense, straight-down-the-middle journalism — a rarity in today’s media climate.
“This is why I agreed to sit down with CC News Network,” Ward said. “You all have integrity. You don’t spin stories, you don’t push agendas — you follow the facts. That’s what real journalism looks like, and that’s exactly what this case needs.”
Ward emphasized that true crime fans deserve more than sensationalism — they deserve the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.
True Crime with Purpose
For the CC News Network audience, Mica Miller’s story is more than just a case — it’s a stark reminder of how hidden abuse thrives behind closed doors.
“Mica’s story is a lesson,” Ward said. “If you only look for physical bruises, you’ll miss the emotional and psychological violence that’s just as deadly. And in cases like this — especially involving powerful, public figures like a pastor — people are often too scared to speak out.”
That fear is exactly why Ward felt compelled to go public — and why CC News Network is leading the charge in demanding accountability.
What Comes Next?
As the investigation into Mica Miller’s death continues, CC News Network will remain on the front lines, committed to delivering factual, unbiased coverage with the same integrity Regina Ward recognized.
“This is what journalism should be,” Ward said. “Hold the powerful accountable. Give victims a voice. Follow the truth — wherever it leads.”
