Miss United States has accused a Republican congressman of threatening to release explicit images and videos of her after she ended their relationship.

Lindsey Langston, the 2024 winner of the beauty pageant, also claimed that Cory Mills, a representative for central Florida, threatened to harm her future romantic partners, according to a police report filed in the state.

According to the July 14 report, which was made public this week, the 25-year-old told authorities that her romantic relationship with Mr Mills started in 2021 and ended in February.

Mr Mills then allegedly contacted Ms Langston, who is expected to compete at Miss Universe in November, “numerous times” and threatened to release explicit images of her and videos of her engaging in sexual acts, the report said.

The alleged threats were made when the congressman believed Ms Langston “to have other romantic partners in her life after the breakup”, the report added.

It also noted that she shared messages allegedly backing up her claims.

No charges have been filed and Mr Mills, 45, denied the allegations on Wednesday.
