NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — The reigning Miss United States alleges Rep. Cory Mills threatened to release private images of her, documents show.
Lindsey Langston, 25, filed the report against Mills, 45, with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office on July 14.
In the report, Langston detailed her relationship with Mills, claiming it began in November 2021 and ended in February 2025.

Langston alleges that Mills contacted her multiple times, threatening to release intimate images and videos, and provided text and Instagram messages as evidence to the Sheriff’s Office.
According to the report, Langston’s relationship with Mills began when he was still technically married, though he claimed he was separated from his wife.
The document shows that she moved to New Smyrna Beach to live with him but returned to Lake City, Florida, after their breakup.
According to the report, the alleged threats reportedly began after Langston confronted Mills about a news report of him being involved in a physical altercation with another woman in Washington D.C.
According to the report, Mills denied the romantic involvement, but Langston found social media posts suggesting otherwise.
Langston, who is also a Republican State Committeewoman, alleged that Mills threatened to harm any men she intended to date post-breakup.
According to the report, she sought legal counsel and was advised to document the threats with law enforcement.
Mills released the following statement to Channel 9:
“Anthony Sabatini is weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack against the man who beat him in the primary, using his corporate legal office to push a narrative built on lies and flawed legal arguments – all to score political headlines.
We have not been made aware of any report or allegations from law enforcement or the alleged complainant.
These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions.
I have always conducted myself with integrity, both personally and in service to Florida’s 7th District.
Out of respect for the legal process, I won’t comment further at this time.
My team and I will fully cooperate to ensure the truth is made clear.
I remain focused on serving my constituents and advancing America First policies.
I appreciate your understanding as we deal with this private matter and your support during time."
