"Ex-Florida GOP Chair Cleared of Video Voyeurism and Rape Allegation Charges"

The former chair of the Florida Republican Party, Christian Ziegler, will not face video voyeurism charges after authorities found inconsistencies in the woman's statements regarding a sexual encounter. While sexual battery charges were also declined, Ziegler was ousted from his position earlier this year amid an investigation into rape allegations. Prosecutors stated that they were unable to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the video in question was filmed without the woman's knowledge or consent. Ziegler's attorney expressed relief at the clearing of false allegations and criminal wrongdoing, while the woman's inconsistencies were attributed to intoxication and trauma.
