On February 22 this year Miller was staying at a rural property in the Nelson region<\/a>.<\/p>\n A woman in her 50s also lived on the property in a self-contained sleepout, about 150m from where Miller was living in his bus.<\/p>\n The landlord was away at the time, and about 5.30pm, when the victim was in her kitchen, Miller partially entered the small building and introduced himself.<\/p>\n Judge Sainsbury said the woman was not comfortable, then noticed he had moved his shirt to expose his opened shorts and genitalia.<\/p>\n She told him to leave, but about 30 minutes later Miller walked on to the deck area of the sleepout and exposed himself again.<\/p>\n The victim told him to leave and then threatened to call the police if he returned.<\/p>\n Miller apologised, but failed to cover himself up, which caused the woman considerable distress, Judge Sainsbury said.<\/p>\n He said she reported feeling no longer safe..<\/p>\n Judge Sainsbury said it was concerning Miller had \u201cblamed the victim\u201d in that she should not have been upset because he was \u201csimply a nudist\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is nonsense Mr Miller. It is clear there are serious issues at play.\u201d<\/p>\n Judge Sainsbury noted Miller\u2019s troubling list of previous appearances for similar offending in 2010, 2019 and 2021. <\/p>\n In 2022, he was jailed in the Dunedin District Court <\/a>for two years and two months on four charges of committing an indecent act, two of burglary and two of breaching release conditions.<\/p>\n The charges arose from a six-month spree of indecencies, when Miller terrorised three women in their 60s, beginning in Tauranga<\/a> in June 2021.<\/p>\n In the shared kitchen of a campsite, Miller began talking to a woman while she was washing dishes.<\/p>\n When she turned around, she saw he had exposed himself.<\/p>\n Later that month, Miller struck again, this time venturing inside the victim\u2019s caravan while she was cooking.<\/p>\n Miller sat with his pants undone \u201cattempting to get a reaction from the victim\u201d but it was only the woman\u2019s dog that seemed interested, the Otago Daily Times reported.<\/p>\n He repeated the performance over the next few weeks, which forced the woman out of her caravan.<\/p>\n Miller left the site after being confronted by the manager following another obscene exposure in front of a staff member.<\/p>\n He was on release conditions at the time following a prison term for similar crimes.<\/p>\n
