| Red Rose Database
Macclesfield Sexual Abuser
In a tragic case that has shocked the community of Macclesfield, Anthony Miley, aged 33, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the manslaughter of his three-month-old daughter, Ivi Miley. The heartbreaking incident unfolded on July 22, 2020, and has since drawn significant media attention and public concern.
According to court proceedings, Miley claimed that he had no understanding of how Ivi sustained her severe injuries. Despite his assertions, a jury found him guilty of causing her death after a detailed three-week trial at Chester Crown Court. Medical experts provided compelling evidence, revealing that Ivi had suffered a total of 53 fractured ribs, all occurring within four separate time frames, indicating multiple episodes of trauma. Additionally, she had three fractures to her skull, all inflicted less than two days before her passing, highlighting the brutality and timing of her injuries.
During the trial, Miley recounted that he had gone downstairs to feed Ivi when she woke up around 3.20 am. He described falling asleep for an unspecified period before waking up again to feed her. According to his testimony, Ivi had taken a few mouthfuls of milk before suddenly becoming “floppy,” a term he used to describe her unresponsive state. Miley then claimed he asked Ivi’s mother, Stephanie Shore, also 33, for help. Shore testified that shortly before 5 am, Miley woke her to inform her that something was wrong with their daughter. She then checked on Ivi and dialed emergency services after discovering her unresponsive.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the family’s residence and transported Ivi to Macclesfield General Hospital. Her condition was critical, prompting her transfer to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, where she was placed in intensive care. Medical examinations revealed bleeding on both sides of her brain, a serious fracture at the back of her skull, and both old and new rib fractures, indicating ongoing trauma. Neither Miley nor Shore could adequately explain how their daughter had sustained such catastrophic injuries, leading to their arrests and subsequent charges of murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.
In court, Miley was found guilty of her manslaughter and was sentenced to 13 years in prison. The case has left a lasting impact on the community of Macclesfield, raising questions about child safety and parental responsibility in the area. Stephanie Shore was acquitted of murder and was found not guilty of allowing Ivi’s death, but the tragedy remains a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of child abuse and neglect.
