Federal authorities have announced the arrest of Miranda Blum, a 51-year-old sheriff’s deputy from Miami-Dade County, Florida, on serious child exploitation charges. Blum is accused of producing and receiving sexually explicit material involving a 17-year-old girl.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed in late July 2025, the now-suspended deputy allegedly crossed state lines to engage in a relationship with the juvenile. She’s also accused of using her cell phone and another electronic device to photograph illegal images. A federal indictment, also unsealed recently, further alleges that Blum made chilling threats to kill the teenager if their relationship was revealed.
