\n Rep. Max Miller, the embattled Ohio congressman who is facing an uphill battle to keep his seat following abuse allegations, was sued by his ex-wife on behalf of their 2-year-old daughter Wednesday over the accidental release of a nude image of the child.\n <\/p>

\n The civil rights lawsuit, filed by Emily Moreno in Ohio federal court, claims that Miller \u201crecklessly published\u201d the image when he and his attorney, Aaron Minc, shared a link to a Dropbox folder that included the sensitive image earlier this month.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to a representative of Miller and Minc for comment on the new lawsuit.\n <\/p>\n

\n Miller had released the materials following a livestream on August 2 in an effort to defend himself against his ex-wife\u2019s claims of domestic abuse, linking to the files on his X account, where he has nearly 60,000 followers. The photo was taken in the context of an inquiry into an injury the 2-year-old had suffered. Minc took responsibility for the image being included in the link the following day.\n <\/p>\n

\n The image was publicly available for about a day before being removed.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cUnfortunately, I missed the last three pages of a 40+ page document with sensitive content,\u201d Minc previously said in a statement to CNN. \u201cIt was completely unintentional and a mistake. The moment I discovered the issue on Monday morning, I corrected the file immediately.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Miller, in an interview with CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper following the incident, said he was \u201cnot defending\u201d the image\u2019s inclusion in the documents, calling it \u201cawful.\u201d When Tapper called it \u201cshockingly reckless behavior by you and your team,\u201d Miller replied, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say that it\u2019s shockingly reckless.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy attorney took full responsibility,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThere was never any intent to do that.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The image also spurred outrage from Emily Moreno\u2019s father, Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, who said his former son-in-law should no longer serve in Congress.\n <\/p>

\n Emily Moreno\u2019s attorney Subodh Chandra said in a statement Wednesday that the child is an \u201centirely innocent victim who has become collateral damage to her father\u2019s political ambition.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey victimized an innocent child to score political points, and we intend to hold them fully accountable under federal and state law,\u201d Chandra said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Moreno is seeking $150,000 on behalf of her daughter in damages for each time the photo was downloaded, the suit said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Earlier this month, Miller rejected calls to drop out of his congressional race and called for a House Ethics Committee investigation into his alleged conduct, which he says would exonerate him. The panel has since opened an investigation.\n <\/p>\n

\n In June, CNN obtained police videos in which Emily Moreno emotionally describes abuse allegations against Miller, including an incident in which she says he held a gun to her. Miller, in separate police interviews, denies he ever abused her, calls his ex-wife \u201cmanipulative\u201d and alleges she struggles with mental illness.\n <\/p>
