Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — FOX4 spoke with a woman who said she's worried that a former metro firefighter will avoid punishment after she said he sexually assaulted her as a child. FOX4 has agreed to protect her identity. Independence police chief on leave, fires back at 'baseless rumors' in FOX4 interview The former metro firefighter, who has been hailed a hero, is charged with criminal sodomy. There was a hearing for him Thursday in Johnson County, but not much happened. The unidentified woman said she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Trevor Miller. The City of Overland Park and the Overland Park Fire Department (OPFD) are aware of an investigation into a former OPFD employee. 'As soon as the city became aware of the allegations, the former employee was placed on administrative leave,' a spokesperson with the OPFD told FOX4. 'Within a week of being placed on leave, the employee submitted his intention to retire immediately. 'He is no longer an employee of the city or the fire department. The city and Fire department are fully cooperating with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office investigation.' Miller was employed with the city from 1990 to 2023. 'He should be held more accountable for what he's done,' she said. 'For me, personally, growing up, I looked to him as a hero. He's a firefighter for the city. He saves lives.' Miller has been charged with one count of criminal sodomy, from an incident that happened when she was 14. The charge was filed in 2024. 'I knew Trevor growing up as my mother's friend. I saw him occasionally,' she told FOX4. The incident, which occurred in 2012, was reported to law enforcement in October of 2023. At that time, she said Miller was an adult she thought she could confide in. 'In the summer of 2012, I ended up meeting up with him,' she said. 'He took me out to look at Harleys. He taught me how to pump my gas, and he took me to his house and did inappropriate things to me and took me home.' She said she's worried that Miller may get offered a plea agreement – instead of being held accountable for what he's done. Miller has pleaded not guilty to the charge. The case was continued Thursday. The City of Overland Park's website still highlights his efforts to bring a 9/11 memorial to town. 'I don't think he is someone to be looked to as a respectable, trusted member of the community,' she said. 'People should know he's a monster.' Court documents also show that Miller was involved with the 'Camp Inferno' program, which introduced girls to firefighting—and 'he had to be reminded he wasn't there for socializing.' Records show he exchanged information with campers. 'I would definitely say there was grooming. I would definitely say there was sexual abuse,' she said. 'I do encourage people to come forward, but I definitely understand why many don't.' She told FOX4 that she remained silent until 2023, but was driven by two factors to speak out: Having a child of her own The birth of Miller's daughter FOX4 made several attempts to contact Miller's attorney by phone and email; neither inquiry was returned. FOX4 also reached out to the Johnson County District Attorney, who did not comment on the case. Miller has another hearing scheduled for mid-July. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

OLATHE, Kan. — Jackson County Legislator Manuel 'Manny' Abarca IV appeared in a Johnson County courtroom Thursday after he was charged with domestic battery. On Wednesday, Manny was charged with domestic battery in Johnson County—stemming from a reported incident that happened on May 29, 2025. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Thursday, June 5. Jackson Co. Legislator Abarca served protection order before reported missing He was booked into the Johnson County, Kansas, jail at 2:14 p.m. Wednesday and was released after posting a $1,500 bond. On Sunday, Abarca's wife reported him and their 2-year-old son missing – stating that she last saw her son on Wednesday evening and last saw her husband on Thursday. Shawnee police announced on Wednesday that the missing 2-year-old had been safely located and said their well-being had been verified. Alexis posted on Facebook Wednesday evening that her son is safe and back home with her. Abarca released the following statement to FOX4 Wednesday night: 'This is a matter of current litigation, so, unfortunately, there is not much I can say about this case at this time. However, I will say that I love my children more than anything, and I will always put them first. I hope that this issue is decided quickly so that the entire story can be told.' Jackson Co. Legislator Abarca charged in Missouri, Kansas He is also charged in Kansas City Municipal Court with violating a protection order. According to online court records, the protection order was issued by a Jackson County Circuit Court judge on May 30. As part of it, Manny was ordered to have no contact with his wife, and his wife was awarded custody of their child. Online court records show that Abarca is scheduled to appear in court for the Kansas City charge on July 10, 2025, at 9 a.m. FOX4 spoke with Aldo Caller, the attorney representing Abarca in Johnson County. He claims that Abarca's wife is actually the one who put the child in danger. 'There was an incident where his wife tried to take the child under circumstances he thought to be dangerous,' Caller told FOX4. 'We are going to show all of that in court. We want everyone to give these people some peace, some privacy, and let the court resolve all of these situations.' His attorney said Abarca was looking out for his son when he took the child. 'He has done what, I think, what any father who is concerned about the nature of a child would do,' Caller said. 'He has looked out for the safety and welfare of the child, and we are prepared to show that in court.' He said the claims of domestic battery are false. 'There are things, I think, that will be shocking to a lot of people – things that are not at all uncommon in many relationships, but we're going to leave that to the courts to decide,' Abarca's attorney told FOX4.
