A Pelzer man was charged with 30 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and deputies said he also inappropriately touched four boys.

Investigators said that they received a report about a lewd act on a minor on Sept. 27. They said that a 13-year-old boy said that 54-year-old Michael Miller had provided him with alcohol and then inappropriately touched him.

Deputies said that as the investigation unfolded they determined that Miller touched three other boys inappropriately, as well. They said that Miller also committed a sex act on a 12-year-old boy.

Investigators said that when they searched Miller’s computer they also found pornographic images of children on it.

Miller was charged on Sept. 27 with criminal sexual conduct with a minor, committing a lewd act on a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. On Thursday, Miller was also charged with 30 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in connection with the images that deputies said were found on his computer and an additional count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Miller was being held at the Greenville County Detention Center on $475,000 bond.
