The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports:
The State Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday it will not charge former Florida Republican Party chairman Christian Ziegler with video voyeurism in connection with an alleged rape that authorities also declined to prosecute. Three assistants in State Attorney Ed Brodsky’s office explained the decision in a memo released Wednesday morning.
The memo capped a protected investigation launched by the Sarasota Police Department last fall that engulfed Ziegler and his wife Bridget, a conservative activist and member of the Sarasota County School Board, in a sex scandal that drew national attention, costing Christian Ziegler his position as state GOP chairman and has led to repeated calls for Bridget Ziegler to resign from the School Board.
