Police Recover Sex Video In Florida GOP Chairman Case

The Florida Trident reports:

Sarasota police have recovered a cell phone video taken by Florida GOP chairman Christian Ziegler of his sexual encounter with a woman who has alleged he raped her, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the criminal investigation. That video, in addition to security surveillance video from the apartment complex where the woman lives, provided police investigators with graphic evidence of the October 2 sexual encounter between the two, which Ziegler has told police was consensual.

The video of the sex act is brief in duration and the victim can be heard telling Ziegler to climax in her mouth rather than on her new shirt, the sources said. Attorney Adriana Alcalde, a former Florida sex crimes prosecutor who now represents victims in those cases, said the video evidence, if accurately described by the Florida Trident’s sources, could amount to an insurmountable obstacle to a successful verdict in the case.

He arrived at her apartment five minutes after receiving that message, according to the affidavit. Ziegler made a cell phone video of the sex act while she was bent over a piece of furniture in the bedroom, according to sources. #DefendDemocracy https://t.co/pLPHPNNLQq
