Sex Assault Case on Long Island Now Includes Plot to Kill Boy MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - The owner of a religious supplies store in New York City who is accused of sexually assaulting a teenage employee has now been charged with conspiring to kill him. The suspect, Daniel Miller, 45, was arraigned on Thursday on one count of conspiracy and one count of criminal solicitation, the Nassau County district attorney, Kathleen M. Rice, said. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. The authorities said Mr. Miller offered to pay someone $15,000 to kill the 17-year-old boy to prevent him from testifying in the sexual assault case. That case dates to April 19, the boy's first day of work at the store, Botanica, in northern Manhattan. The police said the boy was told to drink a cup of liquid that, unbeknown to him, contained lorazepam, a drug used to relieve anxiety. He woke up about 12 hours later in the defendant's Long Island home, the police said, and Mr. Miller was arrested on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting him. Mr. Miller's lawyer, Joseph Conway, said his client had pleaded not guilty to all charges. Mr. Miller was being held on $5 million bond.
