Levi Miller Sexual Abuse Allegations | Las Vegas Volleyball Coach Investigation

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have arrested Levi Miller, a former coach and facilities and operations director with Vegas United Volleyball Club, on allegations that he sexually abused a minor athlete. Investigators have publicly stated they believe there may be additional victims and are encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

According to law enforcement, Miller, 26, was arrested on June 9, 2026, following an investigation into allegations involving a teenage volleyball player. Authorities allege the abuse began when the victim was 15 years old and occurred while Miller was in a position of trust and authority within the volleyball club.

If the allegations are true, this case is another tragic example of how youth sports organizations can become environments where predators exploit the trust placed in coaches and staff.

What Are the Allegations Against Levi Miller?

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and court records, Miller has been charged with multiple felony offenses, including:

• Sexual assault of a child under 16
• Lewdness with a child under 16 (multiple counts)
• Child abuse or neglect
• Battery by strangulation

Investigators allege Miller used his role within the volleyball club to gain access to the victim, who reportedly sought treatment for hip and knee pain related to volleyball.

According to the arrest report, the victim told investigators that:

• Miller conducted massage or physical therapy sessions that became sexually abusive.
• He allegedly moved his hands underneath her clothing and touched intimate areas unrelated to any legitimate treatment.
• Miller allegedly communicated with the victim through text messages and social media.
• Police allege he sent sexually explicit videos of himself.
• The victim further reported that Miller strangled her during one encounter.

Authorities have stated they believe additional victims may exist and are actively seeking anyone who may have had similar experiences with Miller.

These remain allegations, and Miller is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Vegas United Volleyball Club Responds

Following Miller’s arrest, Vegas United Volleyball Club announced that it had immediately removed him from all duties and severed his association with the organization after learning of the allegations.

As investigations continue, questions may arise regarding:

• Hiring practices
• Background screening
• Supervision of coaches and staff
• Policies governing one-on-one interactions with minor athletes
• Reporting procedures for suspected abuse
• Organizational response to prior complaints, if any existed

Talking to a Nevada sexual abuse attorney often examines whether organizations knew or reasonably should have known about warning signs and whether stronger safeguards could have prevented abuse.

Grooming Often Occurs Through Positions of Trust

Many perpetrators accused of abusing young athletes do not rely on force alone. Instead, they often build trust with children and families over weeks, months, or even years before abuse occurs.

Common grooming behaviors can include:

• Offering extra coaching or individualized attention
• Isolating athletes during training or treatment
• Creating secret or exclusive relationships
• Using texting or social media to communicate privately
• Crossing physical boundaries under the guise of coaching or treatment
• Gradually escalating inappropriate conduct

Parents are often encouraged to trust coaches, trainers, and athletic staff. Unfortunately, that trust can sometimes be manipulated by individuals seeking access to vulnerable children.

Survivors Can Talk to a Nevada Sexual Abuse Attorney For Help

A criminal prosecution focuses on determining whether a defendant violated criminal law. A civil lawsuit serves a different purpose by seeking financial accountability from individuals and institutions that may have enabled or failed to prevent abuse.

Depending on the facts of a case, civil claims may be brought against:

• Individual perpetrators
• Youth sports organizations
• Volleyball clubs
• Athletic associations
• Schools
• Other institutions responsible for protecting children

Even when criminal charges are never filed—or do not result in a conviction—survivors may still have viable civil claims.

Signs of Sexual Abuse in Young Athletes

Parents, guardians, and coaches should remain alert to warning signs that may indicate abuse, including:

• Sudden reluctance to attend practices
• Fear of a particular coach or adult
• Secretive communications with an adult
• Depression or anxiety
• Changes in academic performance
• Self-isolation
• Self-harm or substance use
• Physical complaints without a clear explanation

While none of these signs alone proves abuse, they should never be ignored.
