BELLEFONTE – Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks-Miller issued the following statement on her Facebook page regarding the forgery allegations against her.
“The allegations reported about Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks-Miller are completely and patently false. Ms. Miller has been the chief law enforcement officer and lead prosecutor for Centre County since 2010.
“Ms. Miller is a person of integrity, and her dedicated commitment to fighting crime and protecting the citizens of Centre County, Pennsylvania cannot and should not be questioned.
“Any suggestion that Ms. Miller forged a judge’s signature on a court order is not only absurd, but it is also highly defamatory and extremely questionable.
“It is no wonder that the person who made such unsubstantiated and egregious accusations is herself under investigation for making false reports.
“Notwithstanding the absurdity of these allegations, Ms. Miller takes such claims – even false claims – extremely seriously. Therefore, when these false allegations first surfaced, Ms. Miller brought them to the attention of law enforcement in another jurisdiction for an objective and independent review.
“The investigation into these allegations and the person making them is now being conducted by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, also at Ms. Miller’s request.
“Ms. Miller continues to cooperate fully with the Attorney General’s ongoing investigation for the same reason that she voluntarily disclosed the false allegations in the first place.
“Ms. Miller remains confident that the matter will be thoroughly and properly investigated and that any purported accusations of wrongdoing against her will be quickly and completely dismissed.
“Rest assured that the persons responsible for making these false allegations will ultimately be prosecuted to the full extent that the law provides.
“Even a District Attorney can be the victim of a false report and is entitled to protection of the law when that occurs.
“I will continue to do the Commonwealth’s work and allow others to neutrally investigate this matter and bring you the answers. I look forward to it.”
