Anthony Weiner Sentenced To 21 Months In Prison

“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. These destructive impulses brought great devastation to my family and friends, and destroyed my life’s dream of public service. I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse.”

Additional Weiner Sex Scandals and More

The aforementioned scandal with the 15-year-old girl is not Weiners first involvement with sexual misconduct. In May 2011, Weiner posted an image of his “package” on his Twitter account. First, he claimed his account was hacked, but then in June 2011, he admitted to posting the image. Afterwards, Weiner apologized and stepped down from his Congressional post.

Following the 2011 incident were multiple scandals involving inappropriate text messages from Weiner. In August 2016, Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, announced her decision to leave him and filed for divorce in May 2017.

Abedin has not yet spoken out about the sentencing of Weiner. New reports about his sentencing will follow as additional developments arise.
