Rep. Cory Mills faces legal consequences in Florida court ruling
In a significant development highlighting challenges within congressional leadership accountability, Florida Representative Cory Mills (R-Fla.) has been issued a restraining order following allegations of harassment from former girlfriend Lindsey Langston, the current Miss United States.
Court Decision and Legal Implications
State Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. in Columbia County delivered a ruling that underscores the importance of law enforcement and judicial oversight in personal conduct cases. The order, effective until January 2026, prohibits Mills from any violent acts against Langston and restricts social media references or contact.
Case Background and Evidence
The court proceedings revealed concerning allegations about Mills' behavior following the end of their relationship. The couple, who had shared a residence in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., since May 2024, began dating in November 2021. Their relationship deteriorated after Langston discovered Mills was reportedly involved with another woman.
Key Evidence Presented
- Multiple harassing communications in May and June
- Over 10 documented requests to cease contact
- Threats regarding personal content distribution
Congressional Context
Notably, Mills was among the 409 House representatives who supported the Take It Down Act, demonstrating the complex intersection of legislative duties and personal conduct. This act specifically criminalized the non-consensual sharing of intimate visual content, including AI-generated materials.
The judge's ruling emphasized the court's finding that Mills' testimony regarding intimate videos lacked credibility, highlighting the serious nature of the allegations and their implications for public service integrity.
