Ex-Florida GOP party chair cleared in sexual assault probe, but could still face voyeurism charges

Christian Ziegler, the former chair of the Florida Republican Party, will not face sexual assault charges, authorities said Friday, but investigators still determined there is enough evidence to recommend felony video voyeurism charges against him.

Ziegler was removed from his post earlier this month after a woman alleged that he had sexually assaulted her at her Sarasota, Florida, home.

The Sarasota Police Department reported Friday that the "sexual encounter" between Ziegler and the alleged victim, which took place on Oct. 2 of last year, was recorded on Ziegler's cell phone.
