A former Loveland Police Department officer, Dylan Miller, 30, has been found guilty of a civil rights violation involving the sexual assault of a minor while on duty. The verdict was reached after a trial that lasted more than two weeks.
Evidence presented during the trial showed that Miller was working as an officer on the evening of August 3, 2023, through the early morning hours of August 4, 2023. During this time, he approached the victim and her friend at North Lake Park. After instructing the victim’s friend to leave, Miller led the victim to a more secluded area of the park and sexually assaulted her.
The announcement was made by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly for the District of Colorado, and FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Marv Massey of the FBI’s Denver Field Office.
“The U.S. Marshals Service took Miller into custody following the jury’s verdict. Miller faces a maximum penalty of life in prison for the civil rights offense. Sentencing will be set for early 2026.”
The investigation was conducted by the FBI’s Denver Field Office, Loveland Resident Agency and Larimer County Sheriff’s Office with cooperation from the Loveland Police Department.
Prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alecia L. Riewerts for the District of Colorado and Trial Attorney Sarah E. Howard from the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section.
