Florida congressman might get taken down by a law he voted to pass
U.S. Rep. Cory Mills (R – FL) voted for the Take It Down Act, which prohibits “nonconsensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals.” Essentially, the bill criminalizes “sextortion” – the practice of threatening to release explicit material of someone. Sextortion is now a crime under both Florida and federal law.
Rep. Mills’ ex, Lindsey Langston, a Republican state committee member and former pageant winner, claims that’s exactly what Rep. Mills did. She had dated the congressman from about 2021 (while Mills was still married) until news broke that he had another girlfriend in Washington who had filed assault charges against him. After Langston broke up with Mills, he allegedly engaged in a series of harassment that culminated in Langston seeking a restraining order.
It remains to be seen whether Rep. Mills will be taken down by the same law he voted for, or whether he’s one of the elite to whom these laws don’t apply.
