Christian Ziegler mentioned in heavily redacted police documents that includes the word ‘raped’, reports say

The chairman of Florida’s Republican party, Christian Ziegler, is reported to be under investigation for sexual battery – a potential political bombshell in a state that Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis call home.

According to heavily redacted police department documents, Ziegler is mentioned in the context of an “active criminal investigation” after an individual reported being “sexually battered” at home in Sarasota on 2 October.

The detective’s report mentions a “sexual assault allegation” and “sexual assault complaint” but almost no other information. Only five words survive the redactions: “stated … raped … stated that … raped”, according to Sarasota’s Herald-Tribune and other outlets.

      Grown adults can do whatever they want behind closed doors … as long as it’s consensual. Anything beyond that is, in fact, rape.

      If the accusation is true I hope he gets his ass kicked down the road.

        I guess the point is that these people are hypocrites.
