The Florida Center for Government Accountability’s excellent coverage of the sordid saga around Florida Republican Party chairman Christian Ziegler and his scumbag wife Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget continues Tuesday, as the FLCGA reports that, although Christian has been all but exonerated on potential charges of raping he and his wife’s threesome partner, Christian still may be looking at a video voyeurism felony for having recorded the two-way encounter with the woman.

The voyeurism hitch stems from Christian Ziegler’s claim to a Sarasota police detective that the woman had sent him a “vanishing” Instagram message asking if his Bridget had seen the video, something that was not supported by either the woman or the wife. “Detectives spoke with both the victim and Ziegler’s wife… 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,” wrote Sarasota Police Detective Megan Buck in an investigation affidavit obtained by the FLCGA.

For those keeping score at home, the very evidence that Ziegler used to escape prosecution for rape is itself now evidence of a his having committed a lesser, but still horrible, crime. It also raises questions about Ziegler’s level of familiarity with revenge porn laws, that he was telling the truth about the consensual nature of the encounter but not the video of it. Also, why the hell didn’t Ziegler just tell the cops he had been simply (figuratively) covering his ass by recording it because he had a hunch that he might end up getting falsely accused of rape? What a dumbass.
