Former Bucks County Playhouse Owner Back In Jail

The former owner of the Bucks County Playhouse is back in jail on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and corruption of minors, court records show.

Ralph A Miller, 71, of Doylestown was charged by Solebury Township Police with three felonies on May 30. Miller allegedly sent vulgar emails to a teen in Solebury when he was serving time in federal prison, The Intelligencer reported.

Miller was unable to post bail, which was set at 10 percent of $50,000. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for July 9. The charges stem from criminal activity that occurred in December of 2017, court records show.

The charges come less than a month after Miller was released from federal prison, The Intelligencer reported.

He was serving time for fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors said Miller claimed more than $200,000 in fraudulent insurance payments after a flood devastated the playhouse in 2006. He was found guilty of the charges in 2015.
