There is apparently further evidence that anti-LGBTQ+ crusader and chairman of the Florida Republican Party Christian Ziegler has committed sex scrimes:
Sarasota police are investigating whether Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler unlawfully videotaped the sexual encounter at the heart of a rape allegation against him, a third search warrant affidavit obtained by the Florida Trident reveals.
Based on the newly released Dec. 8 police affidavit, Circuit Judge Thomas Krug issued a search warrant for Ziegler’s Instagram account after finding probable cause the embattled Republican official violated state law prohibiting video voyeurism, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Police also continue to investigate the allegation that Ziegler raped the woman who appears in the video on Oct 2. after a planned threesome fell through between her, Ziegler, and his wife, Bridget Ziegler, a Sarasota County School Board member and cofounder of Moms for Liberty.
The Florida Trident obtained the new search warrant from the Clerk of Court through a public records request.
Two previous search warrants show the woman canceled the tryst when she learned Bridget Ziegler couldn’t make it, but alleged Christian Ziegler came to her apartment against her wishes, bent her over a piece of furniture, and raped her.
I wonder how the police uncovered this evidence?
In a police interview on Nov. 2, Ziegler claimed the encounter was consensual and showed detectives a two-and-a-half minute video of the sex act he’d taken on his iPhone, according to the new affidavit.
These are not very bright etc.
Ziegler’s attorney, Derek Byrd, told police during the same interview the woman sent an Instagram message to Ziegler shortly after the sexual encounter asking him if he’d shown the video to Bridget Ziegler. Byrd said the message was sent in “vanish mode.”
The woman, however, told police she never sent such an Instagram message and had no knowledge Ziegler had recorded the encounter. Bridget Ziegler also said she knew nothing about the video, Sarasota police Det. Megan Buck wrote in the affidavit.
“Detectives spoke with both the victim and Ziegler’s wife,” wrote Buck, a veteran detective who serves on the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force. “The victim did not give Ziegler consent to take this video of them having sex. Neither … Ziegler’s wife or the victim knew anything about this video that had been taken of the sexual encounter on 10/02/23, and neither had seen the video of this encounter.”
It might be time to consider the possibility that people arguing that its is urgent to PROTECT THE CHILDREN by forbidding teachers from having pictures of same-sex partners on their desk because of FAMILY VALUES are not acting in good faith.
