The former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) was cleared in a police investigation over rape allegations 11 days after party officials voted to oust him from leadership.
The Sarasota Police Department (SPD) is asking the Sarasota County State Attorney’s Office to prosecute Christian Ziegler for illegally recording the sexual encounter he had with the woman who accused him of raping her on Oct. 2, 2023.
