Shaker Heights Public Library, the public library in the town Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) grew up.<\/span>Sam Van Pykeren\/Mother Jones<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n For the past<\/span> few months, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) has been embroiled in a growing list of scandals<\/a> and allegations of harm. Miller\u2019s ex-wife, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), has accused the Republican congressman in legal filings of being an absentee father<\/a>, abusive husband<\/a>, and having a history of violence and misconduct towards women dating back to his high school days. Miller has repeatedly denied these allegations.<\/p>\n As Mother Jones<\/em>\u2019 Abby Vesoulis reported in July:<\/p>\n For instance, one of [Emily] Moreno\u2019s legal filings in their ongoing child custody case asked Miller to comment on the accusation that he pushed a female peer down a set of stairs during his high school years.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy did you not pursue a defamation lawsuit against [redacted] for alleging you pushed her down a flight of stairs?\u201d<\/p>\n Miller\u2019s response: \u201cOBJECTION; relevance, scope of admissible evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n According to\u00a0Politico<\/a><\/em>\u2019s<\/a>\u00a02021 report, \u201cMiller pushed a girl out the door of his room and she fell down some stairs after he became enraged when she resisted his attempts to touch her, according to three people who were there and many more who heard about the incident in the aftermath.\u201d<\/p>\n Miller categorically denied to\u00a0Politico<\/em>\u00a0that the altercation took place. But reached for comment this month, the woman in question told\u00a0Mother Jones<\/em>\u00a0that while the event \u201chappened 20 years ago,\u201d it remains \u201cone of the more traumatic nights of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Vesoulis recently traveled to Ohio where she and our producer got a chance to speak with Miller directly<\/a> following a family court hearing between him and his ex-wife. While visiting, Vesoulis made a stop at the public library in the town that Miller grew up and attended high school in. She wanted to see if there was anything more to be learned from his old high school yearbooks.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to flip through all these yearbooks and we could find nothing,\u201d says Vesoulis, sitting in one of the library\u2019s study rooms. \u201cWe could find something interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n Interesting, indeed. Here\u2019s what she saw:<\/p>\n\n
