American Beauty Queen Secures Restraining Order Against Congressman

An American beauty queen, Lindsey Langston, expressed her relief on Tuesday after a court granted her request for a restraining order against a sitting U.S. lawmaker, Representative Corey Mills from Florida. Her lawyer hinted that legal action may still follow.

Langston sought the order after Mills allegedly threatened to release a video of her following the end of their romantic relationship.

Langston and her attorney, Bobbi Frank, discussed the case with reporters on Wednesday. When questioned about the possibility of Mills facing criminal charges related to sextortion, Frank indicated it could be on the table.

“While I’m not a prosecutor or law enforcement, I have a good amount of experience with both civil and criminal law,” she mentioned. “Ms. Langston’s claims have been supported by the court’s factual findings regarding two specific crimes.” Frank added, “We have evidence to pursue criminal charges, and I believe this is not the end of this situation.”

When asked if any lawsuits had been filed or were in process, she reiterated that the temporary restraining order likely won’t be the last we hear about this case.

In granting the restraining order, Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. stated, “The court considers the testimony and circumstances as a whole and does not find the defendant’s claims regarding the intimate video to be credible.” The judge noted that some of Mills’ messages to Langston seemed intended to “harass and cause emotional distress.”

Frank called for both Republicans and Democrats to act against Mills, stating he should be expelled from Congress due to the allegations and ongoing controversies.

“Every day, it becomes clearer that Corey Mills represents unethical behavior,” she elaborated. “This isn’t just one isolated event; it’s a pattern of conduct.” She cited the restraining order that prohibits Mills from discussing Langston on social media.

“If Mr. Mills chooses to engage in harassing or threatening behavior, we will respond decisively,” Frank stated.

Langston’s attorney expressed gratitude to the judge for taking the temporary restraining order seriously. “It’s evident that he considered the case thoroughly, as reflected in the detailed 14-page order,” Frank noted.

Langston was commended for bravely sharing her story. “She found the courage—largely from a place of fear—to hold Mills accountable. That’s commendable,” Frank remarked.

When asked if justice was served, Langston shared her emotional response upon receiving the news of the restraining order. “I genuinely feel justice has been served. The relief I felt when I learned that the injunction had been approved was profound. It felt like I could start living my life again,” she said.

“I hope this sends a strong message to victims of violence, intimidation, or coercion,” Langston continued, encouraging others to come forward and trust the justice system. “Know your rights and be courageous.”

Representatives for Mills did not respond to requests for comment.
