A postmaster was arrested Thursday in Elizabeth and is accused of chatting online in a sexual manner with people he thought were 13-year-old girls but were actually law enforcement investigators.
On Thursday, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office's Child Sex Offender Internet Investigations Unit, known as Cheezo, arrested 44-year-old Chad Miller, who's a postmaster for the U.S. Postal Service.
An investigation began in August 2021 when Miller started communicating online with whom he believed was a 13-year-old girl, but was a member of the Cheezo Unit, the sheriff's office said. Miller said he wanted to have sex with the girl and then stopped communicating. Between March 9 and 30, Miller again started to talk with an investigator from the Cheezo Unit who was posing as a 13-year-old girl, the sheriff's office said. Miller said he was a postmaster as he continued to talk sexually and described what he wanted to do with the girl.
Investigators with the sheriff's office found Miller at a post office in Elizabeth and arrested him on two counts of internet sexual exploitation of a child and sexual exploitation of a child, which are both felony charges."The Postal Service is aware and takes this matter very seriously. At this time, because it involves a pending criminal and personnel matter, we cannot comment further," the USPS said.
