PHILADELPHIA—Ronald Miko, 37, of
Reading, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today to 38 months in prison for
obstruction of a criminal investigation. Miko was a police officer in the city
of Reading when he utilized a room in a house at which convicted federal defendants
Paul Sewell and Michael Johnson operated a prostitution business that
trafficked females who were under the age of 18. Between May 2, 2011 and June
7, 2011, Miko wired money to Johnson’s federal prison account to prevent the
communication of information to criminal investigators regarding Miko’s
involvement in that business.
In addition to the prison term, U.S.
District Court Judge C. Darnell Jones ordered three years’ supervised release
with 450 hours community service and a $1,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the
Allentown Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Berks County
District Attorney’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States
Attorney Michelle L. Morgan.
