WASHINGTON — A former Girl Scout leader has been arrested in Spotsylvania County on child pornography charges, police say.

The Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office says that Chad Miller, 47, of Spotsylvania, was arrested Monday after it was reported that he sent a link to a pornographic website to a 14-year-old girl with whose family he was friendly.

Detectives and Child Protective Services investigators determined that Miller had “made inappropriate contact” with the girl, as well. When they searched Miller’s house, they say, they found cellphones and computers with hundreds of pornographic images involving children.

The sheriffs say Miller is a person of interest in a similar investigation in Fairfax, and ask anyone with information about Miller to call them at 540-582-7116.
