Texas Man Arrested for Alleged Sexual Assault of Teen in Northampton County

A Texas man has been apprehended and charged in Northampton County, accused of sexually assaulting a teenager, according to local police. Authorities confirm the arrest of 45-year-old John David Miller of Houston, Texas, following an intensive investigation into an incident that reportedly occurred earlier this month in Bethlehem Township.

The alleged assault came to light when the victim, identified as a 16-year-old female, bravely reported the incident to police.

Investigators from the Bethlehem Township Police Department promptly launched a probe, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. Their meticulous work led them to identify Miller as the primary suspect.

According to court documents, the incident is believed to have taken place at a residence in Bethlehem Township, though specific details regarding the circumstances leading up to the alleged assault remain under wraps as the investigation is ongoing.

Police have stated that Miller had some form of acquaintance with the victim prior to the alleged crime, but the exact nature of their relationship has not been fully disclosed.

Miller was taken into custody on August 19, 2025, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service, who tracked him down to an undisclosed location in Pennsylvania.

He was subsequently transported back to Northampton County to face charges. The seriousness of the allegations is reflected in the multiple felony counts filed against him, which include sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, and corruption of minors.

Following his arraignment, District Judge Roy S.

Manwaring IV set Miller's bail at a substantial $250,000. He is currently being held at the Northampton County Prison, awaiting his preliminary hearing. Legal proceedings are expected to move forward swiftly, with the community closely watching for developments in this deeply disturbing case.

Police are urging anyone with further information related to this incident or any similar concerns to come forward.

Their commitment remains strong in ensuring justice for victims and maintaining the safety of the community, particularly its most vulnerable members.
