The Vermont State Police arrested on Thursday a former Caledonia County victim’s advocate on charges he used his position to sexually exploit a crime victim and then tried to cover it up.
State Police say that last May, Anthony Jackson-Miller, 39, allegedly entered into a sexual relationship with a victim he was assigned to represent and then took steps to cover up that relationship. At the time, he was employed by the Caledonia County State’s Attorney’s Office as well as the Swanton Village Police Department and the Caledonia County Sheriff’s Department.
The victim’s case was being prosecuted by the Caledonia County State’s Attorney’s Office.
State Police charged Jackson-Miller with exploitation of a crime victim by a law-enforcement officer and attempting to obstruct justice.
Jackson-Miller is expected to be arraigned in Vermont Superior Court in St. Johnsbury later Thursday.
