Abby Lee Miller Pleads Not Guilty To Bankruptcy Fraud Charges
Nov. 3 2015, Published 10:49 a.m. ET
Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller pleaded not guilty to bankruptcy fraud charges in a Pittsburgh federal court Monday, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
The appearance came after the reality TV choreographer was indicted last month in connection with bankruptcy concealment and false bankruptcy declarations linked to $755,492.85 in reality TV income from 2012-13 that prosecutors say she hid amid restructuring terms of a 2010 bankruptcy.
Miller, owner of the Abby Lee Dance Co. cast, requested a trial by jury (which takes an average of 11 days) in the appearance with her lawyer, Robert Ridge.
She also posted a $10,000 in an unsecured signature bond, as a means of guaranteeing her future appearances in the court, Ridge told ET.
The controversial 49-year-old dance teacher could spend up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of the 20 counts of the indictment, if convicted of the charges.
