Anthony Weiner Sentenced to 21 Months for Sending XXX Photos to 15-Year-Old
Weinergate has reached a conclusion after Anthony Weiner, former New York congressman, was sentence this morning to 21 months for sending sexually explicit messages and photos to a 15-year-old girl.
Prosecutors claim he pressured the girl to get naked and fondle herself, while he watched via Skype and Snapchat.
“During the latter two Skype sessions, on February 18 and 23, 2016, and in a Snapchat communication on March 9, 2016, the defendant used graphic and obscene language to ask the Minor Victim to display her naked body and touch herself, which she did,” the prosecutors wrote in court papers.
Anthony was resourceful in a letter to Judge Denise Cote, saying he’d gone to rehab and realized that he was addicted, and had “an untreated and even an unrecognized mental disorder that corrupted my judgement profoundly.”
His first sexting scandal was in June 2011, and his second was in 2013.
“On prior occasions, as here, Weiner has followed the same pattern: he initially denied his conduct; he suffered personal and professional consequences; he publicly apologized and claimed reform,” prosecutors wrote. “Yet, he has, on multiple occasions, continued to engage in the very conduct he swore off, progressing from that which is self-destructive to that which is also destructive to a teenage girl — a minor the law recognizes as needing protection.”
