Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida faces serious allegations after a judge issued a restraining order stemming from accusations by his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, a former Miss United States.
Langston alleges that Mills harassed her and threatened to release intimate videos, invoking claims of "sextortion" that have shocked many given Mills' congressional status.
The court's ruling bars Mills from contacting Langston or approaching her within 500 feet, highlighting the gravity of the situation and its unusual nature for a sitting member of Congress.
Mills vehemently denies the allegations, branding them as false and suggesting they are part of an effort by a former political opponent to tarnish his reputation.
This case has captured widespread media attention, shedding light on critical issues of sexual harassment and power imbalances in relationships involving public figures.
With the restraining order effective through the end of the year, any violation could lead to significant legal consequences for Mills, raising questions about accountability among elected officials.
