Liberty University School of Law and Thomas Road Baptist Church have been named in a civil lawsuit stemming from a woman’s flight from the country as part of an ongoing child custody battle with her former lesbian partner.
Lisa Miller, a former Bedford County resident, was bound by a Vermont family court order that she give her former partner visitation with their daughter Isabella when mother and daughter disappeared in 2009.
The civil suit follows a verdict in a Vermont courtroom this week, convicting Kenneth Miller of Stuarts Draft of orchestrating Lisa Miller’s flight from the U.S. and working with others to find them a new home in Central America.
