The submission of a heavily redacted police complaint on October 4 prompted the investigation. However, the words "rape" and "sexual battery" were reportedly left unredacted, according to the Florida Trident.

The alleged assault is said to have taken place at the woman's Sarasota home.

Before the alleged incident, the woman claimed she had been engaged in a consensual, long-standing three-way relationship with the Zieglers. The alleged incident is said to have occurred when Bridget was away from home.

Sarasota police are currently investigating the matter.

Christian was elected as chairman of the Florida Republican Party in February after serving as vice chairman of the state party. He also has a history of political service as a former Sarasota County Commissioner.

His wife is considered to be a rising star in the conservative movement after she received personal endorsement from Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, for her school board seat.

Bridget gained recognition as the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a group that addresses concerns about COVID-19 school policies hampering children's development.

In collaboration with DeSantis, she helped develop the Parental Rights in Education Bill, known as the "Don't Say Gay" law.
