Scott Miller, a former Olympian, has been granted parole after serving three years in prison in New South Wales for his involvement in a drug ring. According to the parole board's decision today, the 49-year-old will be released under supervision by June 21.
Miller, who is currently serving a five-and-a-half-year sentence for drug supply in a criminal group, has completed his non-parole period of three years after being arrested in February 2021. His previous attempt at parole was denied last year due to new drug supply charges that had been brought against him. However, after these charges were finalized last month, Miller was able to reapply for parole.
After reviewing his case, Community Corrections recommended his supervised release, stating that he poses a low to medium risk of reoffending. They also noted that Miller has a long history of substance abuse but has shown some understanding of his problematic behavior.
As a condition of his release, Miller is not allowed to take prohibited drugs or contact his former associates without approval from his parole officer. During his time in custody, he has continued his education and plans to finish his studies upon his release.
If all goes well, Miller will be free from parole by August 15, 2027. The former swimmer and butterfly star, who won silver at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, was convicted in 2022 for supplying about $2 million worth of meth, a commercial quantity of heroin, and participating in a criminal group.
