A Florida judge has granted a protective order against Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Mills after a former girlfriend claimed he threatened to release nude images of her and harm her future boyfriends. The order, issued Tuesday, prohibits Mills from contacting the woman or going within 500 feet of her home or workplace. It also bars him from mentioning her on social media. The order is effective through the end of the year, with violations potentially leading to fines or imprisonment. Mills has denied the allegations, calling them false and blaming a former political opponent.
