On December 29, 2017, Patrolman Culp interviewed a juvenile victim, who was 10 years old at the time. It was reported that between August 17, 2012, and November 10, 2012, Andrew Anthony G. Miller, who was 17 at that time, allegedly attempted to rape and sexually assault the victim on three separate occasions at an Oil City residence, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, during each incident, the victim allegedly escaped the sexual assault by fighting off Miller and/or fleeing and hiding.

On April 15, 2018, Patrolman Culp conducted an interview with Miller at the Oil City Police Department.

According to the complaint, Miller allegedly admitted to having some sexual contact with the victim and stated that in his mind, the acts were “of a consensual nature” and that they had both agreed to “keep it a secret.”

The complaint states that when asked about his specific recollection of the acts and events, Miller said that “he could not recall and stated that he suffered a medical incident in 2016 which has left him with memory loss of events prior to that time.”
