A Florida judge has issued a restraining order prohibiting GOP Representative Cory Mills from contacting his former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, who is the current Miss United States. This legal action follows serious allegations made by Langston regarding Mills’ conduct after their relationship ended in February.
Background of the Case
Langston accused Mills of threatening to distribute explicit images and videos of her. This distressing claim was made formally through a police report filed in July, and an injunction for protection against dating violence was requested in August.
Details of the Court Order
According to court documents obtained by El-Balad, Mills must maintain a distance of at least 500 feet from Langston’s residence and workplace. The restraining order is effective until January, ensuring her safety during this sensitive period. Langston testified that Mills’ communications have caused her “substantial emotional distress.”
Mills’ Response and Denial of Allegations
Mills has not faced any criminal charges related to these allegations. In a statement issued to El-Balad earlier this year, he strongly denied any wrongdoing. He stated, “These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions. I have always conducted myself with integrity, both personally and in service to Florida’s 7th District.”
He further indicated that, out of respect for the ongoing legal process, he would refrain from additional comments. Mills expressed his intention to cooperate fully with the investigation, emphasizing his commitment to serving his constituents and advancing his political agenda.
