Miner has been accused of sending “child sexual assault material” on the social media app Snapchat, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

Dayton Police became aware of Miner’s alleged crimes when they received a referral from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Miner is not currently in custody and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. He’s scheduled to appear in court later this month.
