Woman expected to face more questions from prosecutors in hockey players’ trial

James Miller is facing 11 criminal charges related to past sexual offenses in Sarnia, with his trial now scheduled to begin on March 20, 2026.
The charges stem from investigations into incidents during Miller's time as a youth basketball coach and include seven counts of sexual interference.
Since his arrest in August 2024, Miller has been placed on compulsory leave from his role on the Penticton City Council, although the allegations against him have yet to be proven in court.
The Sarnia Police Service brought additional charges in November 2024, and Miller’s trial was postponed from December 2025 to March 2026.
This case highlights ongoing legal processes and potential impacts on local governance, as by-elections fill council seats vacated amid related political absences.
