[00:00:00]A mixed verdict in the rape case against an Albuquerque pastor following a week-long trial.

[00:00:05]We find the defendant not guilty of criminal sexual penetration causing personal injury as charged in count one.

[00:00:13]With regards to count two, we find the defendant guilty of criminal sexual penetration causing personal injury as charged in count two.

[00:00:21]Andrew Miller has been on trial since Monday charged with two counts of criminal sexual penetration. As you heard, jurors found him guilty on one of the two counts after spending more than 6 hours deliberating a verdict.

[00:00:34]Prosecutors say Miller raped a woman at the New Hope Church in Albuquerque in 2023 after luring the victim over a modeling deal. He now faces up to 9 years in prison. The case was initially charged with the accusation that Miller victimized two different women, but prosecutors dropped charges tied to one of the accusers after they lost contact with her. Those charges can still be refiled.
