James “Jamie” Henry Miller

WHERE IS HE NOW? Working for Marco’s Pizza in Tupelo, MS.

Was his whole life a scam? Or just part of it? Which parts? When did he make the shift to the dark side?

Here is a timeline of events we are piecing together now:

This is my earliest recollection of Jamie, Manual’s BSU adviser and department co-chair, and his then-wife, also a Manual department leader, taking matters into their own hands when an anti-semitic speaker addressed their journalism students while on a field trip.

Later, there was a report of a clandestine overnight field trip to New York State. Nothing came back through a recent open records request, but it was apparently a very big deal because they reportedly did not have the parents’ permission to take the students out of state when the bus they were in was involved in an accident.

When then-Manual principal and former coach, Jerry Mayes, found himself embroiled in controversy following a leaked audio tape of him being racist and awful, James aided in our efforts to expose and hold the embattled leader accountable, but not without a great deal of hemming and hawing. His cold feet were attributed to fear of losing his job, which of course, was met with frustration by those who faced these attitudes were losing their lives, but grace was granted and other means to rid the school of toxins were employed, somewhat painfully and unsuccessfully.

In 2019, a Manual Mom brought forth her concerns of “class D felonies” being committed on campus by Manual students and responsible, mandatory reporters were looking away. She brought those concerns to Dear JCPS and together, we presented them to Dr. Pollio in December of 2019, to the JCPS School Board in January of 2020 and to James Miller in the hopes the J&C department would do a story on these harmful behaviors committed by adults in charge, but more importantly, HANDLE IT FROM WITHIN! It does not appear that happened, because when you google Manual High School now, the articles are NOTHING BUT sexual abuse and scandals. 

And ya’ll were worried WE were gonna make Manual look bad!

From this recent story, 

After Two Decades Undercover, She’s Ready to Tell the Real Story of Human Trafficking

we are provided with a glimpse of the “darkest underbelly of fetish chat groups…”

[Undercover] Agents were told that they would need to come up with a “persona” and a “story,” and that they would likely have to provide images of children to “prove” they had a minor on offer.
 
They were also told that they could use images of their own children, if they were comfortable doing so (the FBI no longer endorses this policy).” 
 
Could Miller have befriended the mom so he could get close to her daughter?
 
Could he have taken the videos that were found on his phone as a means to infiltrate fettish groups?
 
Why did he only have to serve three months into a three year sentence?
