"Ex-Florida GOP Chair Escapes Sexual Assault Charges, Case Forwarded to Prosecutors"
TL;DR Summary
Former Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler will not be charged with sexual battery, but prosecutors are considering video voyeurism allegations after an investigation into a sexual encounter. The Sarasota Police Department found insufficient evidence for sexual battery charges but forwarded a probable cause affidavit for video voyeurism, as Ziegler allegedly recorded the encounter without the woman's consent. The investigation led to Ziegler's removal as chair of the Florida Republican Party and also had repercussions for his wife, Bridget Ziegler, who resigned from her position amid backlash.
