Man who allegedly harassed Katie Miller indicted for cyberstalking in Massachusetts
The man allegedly contacted Katie Miller by phone and text over 40 times in around two months and left "disturbing messages about the victim and her husband," the Justice Department said.
John Anthony Proia III, a 41-year-old man from Waltham, Massachusetts, has been indicted on Thursday for alleged cyberstalking of Katie Miller, a podcaster and wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller. According to the Justice Department and sources familiar with the case, Proia allegedly sent more than 40 calls and texts to Katie Miller between August and September of this year, as well as contacting her mother.
The indictment does not name the Millers, but sources confirmed to CBS News that they are the victims. Katie Miller expressed her gratitude to Attorney General Todd Blanche, Leah Foley, and the Washington Field Office on X. The case follows a previous investigation by the FBI, which was demoted two senior counterterrorism agents after the Millers complained about the lack of effort to investigate the alleged harassment.
This is not the first time Katie Miller has asked authorities to investigate such incidents; last year, she complained about local activist Barbara Wien, who distributed flyers with Stephen Miller's address and a QR code urging people to demand a congressional investigation. The federal investigation into the matter ended in failure due to twice rejected search warrants.
