Overview

  • Lindsey Langston filed a police report on July 14 with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, alleging Rep. Cory Mills threatened to share nude images and target her future partners after their breakup in February.
  • Langston provided investigators with screenshots of text and Instagram messages in which Mills allegedly warned he could distribute explicit videos of their relationship and harm any men she dated.
  • The Sheriff’s Office has forwarded the sextortion investigation to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which confirmed receiving the referral and is now reviewing the case.
  • Langston’s petition for a civil restraining order against Mills remains pending before a judge, and no criminal charges have been filed in connection with her allegations.
  • Rep. Mills has denied the claims as false and politically motivated, retained a criminal defense attorney and pledged full cooperation with state investigators.
