Anthony Weiner sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with 15-year-old girl (Congress, felony)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former Congressman who pleaded guilty in May to sexting with a 15-year-old girl, was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison.

Weiner, 53, also faces spending the rest of his life as a registered sex offender for his lengthy and lurid social media contacts with the North Carolina teen.

And to imagine that this clown was a Congressman and a viable candidate to run the biggest city in the US.

I don't usually celebrate when someone is sentenced to prison, but in this case...well...

..time.

Weiner, 53, had faced as much as 10 years in the slammer after pleading guilty in May to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor. The feds said Weiner, a former Congressman from Brooklyn, began a two-month sexting session with the North Carolina teen shortly after she messaged him on Twitter in January 2016.

He pleaded for probation on the grounds that his online dalliance with the 15-year-old was due to his sick obsession with sexting strangers rather than an obsession with underage girls. The government had asked for two years in prison.

No doubt. The only rough thing will be getting the tee times he wants.

I wonder if Huma will bring Hillary when she goes to visit him. Then again, maybe not because the jail would probably have to keep her! LOL!

That's some A+ title work, OP.

Edit: No sense of humor here I guess.

Sure there is..he sent pictures of his genitals to a 15 year old girl...he is 53 years old. Enticing an underage girl is a righteous felony..and considered the next thing to child molestation...in most jurisdictions.

Seriously? Do you live in a cave? This story is well known and well documented. There's no more to it.
