Newly released documents from the Sarasota police reveal shocking details in the case involving former Florida Republican party chairman Christian Ziegler. The woman who accused Ziegler of rape claimed he had been sexually assaulting her for years and she felt unable to say no to him. The documents also revealed that Ziegler kept a list of women, including the accuser, on his phone titled “THE LIST.”
The scandal has garnered attention due to the involvement of Ziegler’s wife, Bridget, who is a prominent conservative figure in Sarasota and a member of the school board. During the investigation, Bridget admitted to police that she and her husband had a threesome with the accuser, contradicting Christian’s claim that it happened twice.
Although the rape case was dropped due to video evidence suggesting consent, new records show the couple discussing the woman’s personal issues, with Christian describing her as “an alcoholic” with “some issues.” Former prosecutor Janae Thomas highlighted the relevance of these details to potential charges.
Sarasota police are recommending that Ziegler be charged with video voyeurism for recording the encounter without consent. The records also indicate the couple had plans for more threesomes. Despite calls for Bridget Ziegler to resign from the school board, she has not stepped down, and no criminal charges have been filed against Christian Ziegler at this time. The case continues to unfold with ongoing investigations and public scrutiny.
