A judge has ordered Republican Congressman Cory Mills to stay away from his former girlfriend.
Mills had been dating Lindsey Langston, the reigning Miss United States and a Republican state committeewoman in Florida, for three and a half years.
But she broke off the relationship in February, after she learned Mills was accused of assaulting a girlfriend in D.C.
She filed for the restraining order when she says Mills began threatening to share nude photos and videos with others, and allegedly threatened her future boyfriends.
The judge ruled that Mills is an "immediate and present danger" to Langston.
The protection order granted on Tuesday is in effect until Jan. 1, but may be extended.
Langston believes her case will prompt others faced with dating violence to ask for help, she said
