Millmont man pleads guilty in Union County privacy case involving teen filming

Clayton Earl Miller, 23, of State Route 225 in Millmont, pleaded guilty in Union County Court to a misdemeanor count of invasion of privacy after police said he filmed a 16-year-old girl performing a sexual act on him at his residence.

The plea, entered Friday, April 10, before Union County Judge Michael Piecuch in Lewisburg, resolved a case that had started far more seriously. Miller had been charged in September 2025 with three felonies, including two counts of filming a sexual act and one count of producing child pornography.

The alleged conduct happened between October and December 2022 in Hartley Township, when Miller was 19 and 20, according to police. The victim approved the plea agreement, according to the Union County District Attorney’s Office, and no sentencing date had been scheduled.

For Union County, the case puts a sharp focus on how the court system handles image-based sexual offenses involving a minor. A misdemeanor plea does not erase the alleged harm tied to recording an intimate act involving a 16-year-old, but it does show the case was narrowed before trial and handled through the county’s plea process in Lewisburg.

The Union County Court of Common Pleas, the county’s general-jurisdiction trial court, sits at 103 S. Second Street in Lewisburg and handles criminal cases such as this one. Piecuch, listed as a judge with the Court of Common Pleas in Union County, presided over the plea and will be part of the process if sentencing is later set.

What remains public is the gap between the original felony filing and the final misdemeanor plea. That gap is the central question for readers trying to understand how Union County resolves cases involving a recording, a teenager and allegations that touch consent, privacy and child-victim protection.
