Cleveland Akron, OH, October 23, 2026 —
Two members of U.S. Rep. Max Miller’s congressional staff have been added as defendants in a federal lawsuit in Cleveland concerning the release of a nude photo of Miller’s 2-year-old daughter.
The available information does not identify the staff members or state when they were added to the case. It also does not provide the lawsuit’s claims against them, the circumstances surrounding the photo’s release, or any response from Miller, the staff members or their representatives.
The case is described as a federal lawsuit in Cleveland. The court, case number, filing date and current procedural status were not provided. No details were available about other parties to the case or what relief the lawsuit seeks.
Being named as a defendant is a procedural development and does not, by itself, establish that a person is responsible for the conduct at issue. The information provided does not indicate whether the staff members have responded to the allegations or whether the court has made any findings.
The summary identifies the subject of the lawsuit as the release of a nude photo of Miller’s young daughter, but does not describe how the image was obtained, distributed or addressed in the legal filing. Those details, along with the identities of the newly named defendants, remain unreported in the available account.
No further information was provided about the lawsuit’s next steps or a timetable for proceedings.
