Christian Ziegler Cleared of Sexual Assault Charges

TL;DR
Former Florida GOP leader Christian Ziegler will not be charged with sexual assault after an investigation found the encounter was likely consensual, but authorities plan to charge him with video voyeurism for recording the encounter without the woman's consent. Ziegler's attorney claims his client's reputation has suffered irreparable harm, while the case has been turned over to the state attorney's office for review. Ziegler's wife, Bridget, who is a Sarasota County School Board member, also faces calls to step down despite not being accused of criminal wrongdoing.
