Florida Judge Issues Protective Order Against Rep. Cory Mills Over Ex’s Threat Allegations

The ruling cites credible evidence of cyberstalking, imposing a 500-foot buffer through January 2026.

Overview

  • Columbia County Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. granted an injunction that bars contact, bans social-media references, and requires Rep. Cory Mills to stay 500 feet from Lindsey Langston’s home and workplace.
  • The court credited Langston’s testimony and found Mills’ explanations not truthful, describing parts of his testimony as “for the most part incomprehensible.”
  • The written order quotes messages attributed to Mills suggesting he could send intimate videos and warning potential future partners to “strap up cowboy,” which the judge said caused substantial emotional distress.
  • Langston filed a police report in July and sought the injunction in August; the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is reviewing the referral, and no criminal charges have been filed.
  • Mills denies wrongdoing and says he will cooperate; the order notes he contacted Langston after the filing using another person’s phone and involved a staffer, while political reactions now include calls for his resignation and questions to House leadership.
