The accused was arrested in Montreal and released on conditions pending a court appearance at a later date.
A Quebec Superior Court judge recently stayed Miller’s 24 sex-related charges for abuses that allegedly took place between 1994 and 2016 because he was too ill to stand trial, but stressed it was not an acquittal.
