Florida Republican Party Chairman Christian Ziegler is under criminal investigation by the Sarasota Police Department over an accusation of sexual battery, confirmed Thursday.
According to a heavily redacted 13-page Sarasota Police report from Oct. 4, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, there is an “active criminal investigation.”
The detective’s report does not provide a name, but it states a person reported being “sexually battered” at home in Sarasota on Oct. 2. The report mentions a “sexual assault complaint” and “sexual assault allegation” but provides no further information.
