Exposed: Scandalous Files of the Elite

Christian and Bridget Ziegler & The Swinging World of Florida Politics


Listen Later

In this episode of Exposed: Scandalous Files of the Elite, Jim Chapman delves into the controversial case of Christian and Bridget Ziegler.

While Christian is accused of rape, the police investigation has revealed conflicting testimonies and a lack of concrete evidence. Despite this, Christian is not completely innocent, as he faces charges of video voyeurism for filming sexual encounters without consent.

His wife Bridget finds herself front and center in the scandal when videos of threesomes are discovered on Christian's cell phone.

Jim considers the credibility of the victim, particularly when conflicting information arises. The scandal involving the Zieglers has had significant political consequences, including job losses and resignations. Christian seeks protection under Marcy's Law, arguing that his reputation has been unjustly damaged.
