Weiner gets 21 months for teen sexting.... Login/Join

Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison, in the most severe penalty yet in connection with the sexting scandal that drove the New York Democrat out of Congress and ruined his marriage.

Weiner, 53, pleaded guilty in May for sending sexually explicit texts to a 15-year-old girl across state lines. Weiner agreed not to appeal any sentence between 21 and 27 months in prison. The disgraced politician apologized in court to the teenage victim, blaming his own “destructive impulses.” Weiner was forced to register as a sex offender.

Weiner said last week that he was undergoing treatment and is profoundly sorry for subjecting the minor to what his lawyers call his “deep sickness.” Prosecutors said, however, that he has promised in the past that he’s reformed.

Throughout the trial, defense lawyers had portrayed the girl as an aggressor, saying she wanted to generate material for a book and possibly influence the presidential election.

“I have compulsively sought attention from women who contacted me on social media, and I engaged with many of them in both sexual and non-sexual conversation,” Weiner said in a prepared statement in May. “These destructive impulses brought great devastation to my family and friends, and destroyed my life’s dream of public service.”

Weiner apologized to his now-estranged wife, longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and his family, after his admission of guilt.

“I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse,” Weiner said.

Abedin filed for divorce just hours after Weiner pleaded guilty in May.

The FBI began investigating Weiner in September 2016 after a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina told a tabloid news site that she and the former politician had exchanged lewd messages for several months, and accused him of asking her to undress on camera.

This relationship was not the first that caused public embarrassment for Weiner and his family. In 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress after an errant tweet exposed his sexting habits. He later ran for New York City mayor, but was unsuccessful.

But the criminal investigation into his relationship with the minor infamously connected with the 2016 presidential election, when agents acquired Weiner’s electronic devices and uncovered a new batch of emails between Hillary Clinton and Abedin. The discovery led the FBI to revisit the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while conducting official government business while secretary of state. Clinton has cited this as a factor in her 2016 presidential defeat, and most recently, recalled the series of events in her new book, “What Happened.”

His 21 months sure as shit beats the eight year sentence the nation dodged.

Thanks, Carlos Dangler, for taking one dick pic too many and helping, even if unintentionally, save the nation.

The felony sex offender conviction and registration is even better than the months in prison.

Can't vote. Can't run for most political offices. Can't own guns (not that he would). He'll probably have restrictions on where he can live, and/or social media/computer restrictions too. Has to be registered and tracked. Failure to comply means an additional felony and more prison time.

The low end of the sentencing range and less than the two years prosecutors asked for.

He'll end up cleaning floors in some federal office building and living in a halfway house.

To a small extent, I pity him.

Cleaning floors is hard work (I worked as a janitor in my school @ 13yo), something he's never done.

Twenty-one months ain't hay, and he's a felon and has to register as a sex offender. Weiner spent all that time online trying to get fucked and it looks like he succeeded, 'cause he's fucked ten ways from Sunday. Great job, Ant'ny.

I'll say this for the sick bastard; the above quote will never be uttered by his former mentor. Hillary would continue to lie and blame others even if God was in front of her.

I'd say the guy got his comeuppance good.

Huma was too busy scissoring with Hillary to give her man what he needs.

No wait, sorry. I meant to say Weiner's marriage was a sham because his wife is a lesbian. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.

Y'hear that, Ant'ny? Your wife prefers 70 year old women to you, stud.

Wonder where that got inserted from? Playing to someone’s base maybe?

So, Ant'ny cried like a little bitch at his sentencing, and his lezbo wife was off somewhere else, probably dry-humping Hillary. "Oh, we can FINALLY be together, Hil!!"

They gave him 21, but the word is he was arguing for under 18...

This is Federal time too, so he will have to serve most of that.
The BOP calculator says 18 month, 2 days if he can behave himself. Up to 12 months could be served in a halfway house.
