A Florida judge has issued a restraining order against Representative Cory Mills, a Republican from Florida, following allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, who is the current Miss United States. Langston accused Mills of harassment and threatening to release explicit videos of her.

On Tuesday, Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. in Columbia County ruled to prevent Mills from engaging in any violent acts against Langston. Additionally, the order prohibits him from contacting her or mentioning her on social media until January 2026, as reported by Politico.

The judge agreed with Langston’s claim that Mills had caused her significant emotional distress and noted that Mills did not provide a credible counterargument to her statements, according to the court order.

Judge Koberlein also concluded that Langston had a justified fear of being in “imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence,” if protective measures were not taken.

“After reviewing all the testimony and circumstances, the court does not find Mills’ statements regarding the intimate videos to be credible,” Judge Koberlein stated in the judgment.

“Even had the respondent’s testimony been truthful, his response is irrelevant because there was no evidence presented suggesting [Langston] knew the respondent no longer had possession of their intimate videos,” he said.

The restraining order followed two court hearings in which the former couple testified on their past relationship and a hoard of texts, phone calls, and messages between them.

Langston alleged in a police report in July that Mills, 45, had threatened to release sex videos and nude pictures of her to the public, and “harm any men” she went out with in the future, after she ended their relationship earlier this year upon finding out he was seeing another woman.

Mills allegedly sent a series of harassing communications to Langston in May and June, including a message on May 15 where he told the pageant winner that she “may want to tell every guy you date that if we run into each other at any point. Strap up cowboy,” according to NBC News.

He also threatened in another message to share videos of Langston, writing, “I can send him a few videos of you as well. Oh, I still have them,” the outlet reported.

The lawmaker reportedly ignored over 10 requests from Langston to stop contacting her, Koberlein’s judgment said, NBC reported.

Mills and Langston, a GOP state committeewoman, had been dating since November 2021 and sharing a house in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., since May 2024 before they broke up.

Mills was one of 409 House lawmakers who voted in April to pass the Take It Down Act, which criminalized the online publication of “revenge porn” or AI-generated intimate visual depictions of others without their consent.
