Bermuda to add to his woes when he goes back before local courts next month.

A prosecutor involved in his case confirmed yesterday that he expects charges to be filed against the doctor by the Police Service.

Crown counsel Patrick Dougherty yesterday told The Royal Gazette that officers should have charges ready to lay against George Miller when he returns to Magistrates' Court on November 4.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the US Consulate confirmed an official request for Dr. Miller's extradition was being prepared and was expected to be delivered to Government House shortly.

"The US considers this matter to be very important,'' said the spokesman, "and is very eager to get the extradition proceedings completed and have him brought back to the States.'' Dr. Miller was convicted of sexual charges relating to a 15-year-old girl in Florida, but fled the US before serving out his sentence and has practised locally for the past two and a half years.

Dr. Miller never contested the charges laid against him in the US and was sentenced to two years community service and six years probation. But he left Florida after serving out only one month of his sentence.

He is understood to have gone to Jamaica and his victim followed him. The girl is now his wife, marriage certificates produced in a Bermuda Magistrates' Court show.

He appeared in court on October 21 for the first stage of extradition proceedings to the US after the US Consulate wrote to the Governor asking for a provisional warrant of arrest against him.

He was subsequently released on $10,000 bail.
