MAGA lawmaker hit with restraining order over threat of 'dating violence'

Rep. Cory Mills' ex-girlfriend was granted a restraining order after she said she feared the Florida Republican would tarnish her reputation by releasing videos of the two having sex.

Lindsey Langston, the current Miss United States and a Republican state committeewoman, told Drop Site News that she requested the restraining order in August after Mills continued to harass her.

After two hearings, Circuit Court Judge Fred Koberlein ordered Mills not to have any contact with Langston or refer to her on any social media platform.

For his part, Mills claimed that the phone containing images of Langston had been damaged. The judge, however, found the lawmaker's excuses "for the most part incomprehensible" and "does not find [Mills's] testimony concerning the intimate videos to be truthful."

Koberlein said there was "reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence."

In his ruling, the judge noted that Mills ordered one of his congressional staffers to contact Langston after she filed for the restraining order. Mills also used another girlfriend's phone to contact Langston and called her family after she blocked his number.

“The threats from Cory intensified over time,” Langston said in August. “From emotional manipulation, to physical violence against whoever I date in the future, to threats of having me stripped of the Miss United States crown… something I worked extremely hard for and a dream that was placed in my heart long before I even knew who Cory Mills was.”
