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.
The complaint was filed on October 4 and the alleged sexual battery occurred inside the woman’s home in Sarasota on October 2, according to the report. Among the few words that went unredacted in the report are “rape” and “sexual assault complaint.”
The woman, according to sources close to the investigation, alleged that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident. The incident under investigation by Sarasota police occurred when Christian Ziegler and the woman were alone at the woman’s house, without Bridget Ziegler present, the sources conveyed.
At least this time, everyone involved was a full-grown adult.
Every accusation is a confession.
Because of course these paragons of morality were involved in a three-way sexual relationship that has led to sexual assault. But they sure are defenders of (other people’s) morals and the sanctity of traditional family values, don’t you know.
You can’t spell Moms for Liberty without libertine.
@3 You misspelt arsehole.
“At least this time, everyone involved was a full-grown adult.” And a “Christian.”
This just about screams “do as I say, not as I do”.
That could be the party motto. Or maybe just the part they aren’t saying out loud.
Now what does that make “Mamas for Desantis”? Not just run-of-the-mill republican bigotry, but also a swingers club?
At least they weren’t caught at a drag show….
Moms of Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler is fighting for ‘moral xtian values’ in schools??? How?. By she and her husband being involved in a longstanding three-way sexual relationship with that woman? Doesn’t sound much like something jebus would approve of! WTF!
@8 — yep, the Zeiglers might want to check out Matthew 19.
It doesn’t matter a damn how many consenting adults were in the bedroom. Hypocrisy is the default for Christian organizations.
What matters is the allegation that there was a non-consenting person there at least once. That goes way beyond hypocrisy. I hope the legal system works as it should and justice ensues.
I wonder what the Republicans will find most offensive: the rape, or the consensual threesome?
Raging Bee @11 — The consensual threesome, of course! Rape is practically a sacrament for those types.
Headline “It could have been worse” … content, rape.
PZ, I think your headline writer might have messed up?
@ chrislawson : “@8 — yep, the Zeiglers might want to check out Matthew 19.”
What and make it a foursome? ;-)
More disturbingly with someone quite young too.. albeit over the age of consent.
“At least this time, everyone involved was a full-grown adult.”
The fact this is a reasonable statement lately with these people is pretty scary TBH.
Why isn’t anybody surprised? Is there one single conservative anywhere on earth who is not a first class hypocrite?
“ Is there one single conservative anywhere on earth who is not a first class hypocrite?”
Yes
“ Is there one single conservative anywhere on earth who is not a first class hypocrite?”
Yes
When will the Republican politicians drop the facade of moral, bible worshipping, law abiding do-gooders? They are only scamming themselves. They need to admit and to learn to live with their human traits. .
