Convicted sex offender pleads guilty to lewdness charges after prison release

Devin Miller, 34, entered an Alford plea Tuesday in Clark County District Court to two counts of lewdness with a child under 16, according to court records. An Alford plea allows a defendant to maintain innocence while acknowledging prosecutors have sufficient evidence for a conviction. Miller initially faced charges of sexual assault with a child under 14 and two counts of lewdness with a child under 14.

The inappropriate contact occurred July 19, 2025, according to the criminal complaint. Miller was released from federal prison on Dec. 20, 2024, after serving a 12-year sentence for distributing child pornography, a 2015 conviction in Nevada U.S. District Court. Federal records show he was ordered to serve 40 years of supervised release following his imprisonment and is a registered sex offender in Nevada.

Court records indicate Miller faced prior allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct involving children before his federal conviction. Two incidents from 2004 and 2009 were investigated when Miller was a juvenile but did not result in criminal charges. A separate 2009 incident resulted in a juvenile adjudication. His attorney, Robert Draskovich, stated in filings that Miller disclosed the conduct to a counselor, accepted responsibility and complied with sanctions.

The Clark County District Attorney’s office said the plea agreement was reached after consulting with the victim’s family. “As in almost all cases, in this case negotiations were a product of an assessment of the evidence relative to the State’s burden of proof at trial, pretrial rulings, the need to protect the community, and in consultation with the victim’s family,” the office said in a statement.

Each count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 5. Miller remained in custody at the Clark County Detention Center as of Friday, according to online jail records.
