There are no charges at this time, but an investigation is under way. Do not bother going to the police report as the only unredacted words are "stated raped," "sexual battery," "sexual assault complaint" and "sexual assault allegation."
Christian Ziegler, Florida’s GOP chairman and husband of Sarasota County School Board member and Moms of Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department alleging the longtime Republican official had raped her, according to a heavily redacted police report obtained by the Florida Trident.
This story contains more into the GOP political power couple background.
The Zieglers are one of Florida’s top political power couples in the GOP. Christian Ziegler is a longtime Republican Party official who served as vice chairman of the state party prior to his election as chair in February. Prior to that he was a Sarasota County Commissioner who ran on a “family values” platform.
If true that is in itself awful. But also important to note is that the woman accuser is the couple's long time consensual menage a trois lover. I could give a crap about their sex life...
What I care about: both of these POS have been a huge part of the campaigns "Don't say Gay," book banning, anti LGBTQ anything.... Bridget Ziegler is an anti-trans activist and opponent of CRT and the usual suspect when dealing with Talibangelicals.

Also, A Moms for Liberty leader is a child rapist. https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/forum/general-discussion/a-moms-for-liberty-leader-is-a-child-rapist/
It has grown quickly, and is on the SPLC hate list... for a reason or 100): https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/moms-liberty
In January 2021, Moms for Liberty made its national debut on the Rush Limbaugh show. By the end of the next month, the organization had five chapters in Florida and had garnered attention from Breitbart and Tucker Carlson Tonight.
She says Public schools are “indoctrination centers for the radical left.” Sweet lies like that were music to Governor DeSatan's ears. He personally endorsed her for her school board position. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2023/11/30/florida-republican-chair-christian-ziegler-accused-of-sexual-battery/71754031007/
UPDATE 7
This young gay man is pissed and has forgone future plans while he attempts to shame Bridget Ziegler into resigning from his local school board. As you can hear from the added clips, POS Ziegler is shameless. Goof luck!
I am not on XTwatter, so cannot access her account, but here are the first 2 items anyone can see in her account: https://twitter.com/BridgetAZiegler
I think a sexual predator is someone who HUNTS (see next post below) for sexual partners who are the weak and vulnerable to abuse ... which their alcohol and drug addicted partner afmittedly was.
Hypocrites and fake "christians."
This indocrination of children into the MAGA cult is also a form of grooming... https://twitter.com/chrismziegler
UPDATE 6
Although there will be no rape charges, video voyeurism is still on the table. Meanwhile, as is always the case with RWers, Christian is attempting to turn the tables and make himself a victim. Watch for him to sue the press for libel... (PS this is also ontRUMP's agenda if he is elected. His retribution will make criminals victims and pay restitution for 'soiling' their criminal reputations...
MEANWHILE...

Detectives found a list on Ziegler’s phonetitled “THE LIST” with the names of women under a subheading “Fuck.”
There were also, not surprisingly... a lot of 'only fans' on his phone.

MEANWHILE...
Bridget Ziegler sits on the school board in Sarasota attacking people who are gay and banning books
FAMILY VALUES, (Republican style)
Republicans are VERY pro-life & pro traditional marriage...
until their mistress needs an abortion
UPDATE 5
Well colour me surprised. It turns out that the reason why Bridget was not forced from her school board position is because the rest of the weasels do not WANT her to resign! It was all for show, to pretend they were doing something as a show of disapproval... but they want their Partisan asshole control over the board to remain.
Meanwhile...
Police have recovered second Ziegler sex video, sources say
The tape is of 2 women having sex. One is certainly Bridget, the "family values for thee and not for me" mom, whose book bans, homophobia and political grifting has assured Sarasota Schools are all about politics and not the children learning!
What is with these people and their love of fake "luxury" look of gilding?
UPDATE 4
Florida Republican Party censures chairman Christian Ziegler
The Florida GOP Chair refuses to step down so they down hraded his pay to 1$ and stripped him of any authority.
(See update 3 where he insists he will never apologize ever for anything...)
Bridget Ziegler also refuses to resign her school board position and only DeSantis can remove her.
UPDATE 3
Florida GOP Chair Accused of Rape Instructed Moms for Liberty:
'A growing chorus of top elected officials in recent days have called on GOP Chair Christian Ziegler to step down amid allegations that he raped a woman who had been sexually involved with both him and his wife, Bridget Ziegler, last year.'
A Moms For Liberty chapter has split from the organization in the wake of a rape allegation against the co-founder's husband. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/moms-liberty-chapter-splits-response-rape-allegation-christian-ziegler-rcna128204
UPDATE 2
After Bridget Ziegler was unable to attend she backed out, texting, “Sorry I was mostly in for her,” according to ABC Action News, which obtained the affidavit.
Paulina Testerman, co-founder of the nonprofit Support Our Schools, which defends public education, said that she hoped the Zieglers’ hold over the county was coming to an end. Amen, sister, but the money funnelled into these non profits is making GQP activists millionnaires. It won't stop as long as SCOTUS and citizens United keep the dark money amd political money laundering legal...
There are details which I refuse to add...perhaps because I was a victim of sexual and physical abuse and I know how much this infuriates and triggers so many women, myself included. (It is difficult to describe the emotions... as words cannot convey the indelible hurt) https://www.thedailybeast.com/911-call-released-in-florida-gop-chair-christian-ziegler-rape-probe
Is LOSER45 going to double down on his endorsement now?
UPDATE 1
“christian” family-values
The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated Moms for Liberty as an anti-government hate group. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/moms-liberty
Earlier this year... as GOP chair, Christin Ziegled vowed to eradicate Democrats.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article272619490.html
Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried called for Christian Ziegler’s resignation and said this about the Zieglers:
The hypocrisy and projection is astounding, really.
The Republican party of Sarasota county issued a statement saying the party was “shocked and disappointed." That they did not defend the chair of their party, or simply say that there is an investigation and that these are merely ellegations, gives credence to the story and further implies they may even be aware that this is true...
Jerry Falwell Jr, his wife, and pool boy and Liberty University agree, that "christian" values are for thee, not me! If the allegations are true, then the Zieglers are in good company.
