Republican Representative Cory Mills alleged of threatening to publicize explicit videos of his former partner
Florida Congressman Cory Mills is under scrutiny following allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, according to a police report filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office on July 14, 2025 [1][2][3].
Langston, a Republican state committee member and 2024 Miss United States winner, claimed that Mills threatened to release sexually explicit videos and images of her after their relationship ended [1][3]. The alleged threats also included Mills threatening to harm any future partners she might have [1][3].
The relationship between Mills and Langston lasted from November 2021 until February 2025 and ended after Langston saw media reports about an unrelated alleged assault involving Mills, which Mills denies and was never charged for [1].
Mills has publicly denied these allegations, accusing his opponent, Anthony Sabatini, of weaponizing the legal system for a political attack [1][2]. Sabatini, a County Commissioner for District 1 and former member of the Florida House of Representatives, briefly represented Langston but no longer does [4][5].
The police report obtained from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office states that Langston provided text messages and Instagram messages as evidence of Mills' threats [1][2]. The alleged threats from Mills include recorded videos of him and Langston engaging in sexual acts [1].
The matter regarding Mills has been referred to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is currently handling the investigation [2]. As of the latest updates, no charges have been filed against Mills [2].
Earlier this year, Mills voted in favor of the "Take It Down Act," a bipartisan law aimed at cracking down on the nonconsensual sharing of sexually explicit videos and photos, including deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence [6]. This law, championed by First Lady Melania Trump and signed into law by the president in May, could potentially be relevant to the allegations against Mills.
The police report was first reported on by Drop Site News [3]. The alleged assault involving Mills in Washington remains undisclosed.
