Former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner wept on Friday as he pleaded guilty in federal court to sending sexually explicit messages to a teenage girl, ending an investigation into a "sexting" scandal that played a role in last year's U.S. presidential election.
Wearing a navy-colored suit, maroon tie and his wedding band, a tearful Weiner, 52, described his conduct before U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in New York City.
"I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse," Weiner said, apologizing to the 15-year-old girl to whom he sent sexually explicit images and messages last year.
The charge of transferring obscene material to a minor carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, but Weiner is likely to get less. As part of his plea agreement, federal prosecutors said they would consider a term between 21 months and 27 months "fair and appropriate."

Played elsewhere Huma filed for divorce today
Rush just said that Huma filed for divorce.
Hmm,must have got a call from hillary;)
This arrogant little prick needs to get the crap knocked out of him in prison.
2+ years in jail and divorce papers. Good Friday! Now soon to be ex-wife needs to be prosecuted for handling of classified content, else immunity to turn evidence and help convict Clinton.
As a former U.S. Congressman weiner will be in a former U.S. Congressman prison,gets out and will run for office again.
Who wants to bet that within 10 years, this “sickness” will be celebrated with “child-love” parades and colorful children’s books.
Chuck is busy,still bringing home the bacon in a Republican controlled Congress..
She doesn’t need spousal immunity now that he has pleaded guilty. Coast is clear and the search for her “Onassis” begins now.
She won’t get to enjoy being free and single long if Carlos Danger decides to drop the dime on Hillary and her-and I doubt he looks forward to being someone’s prison bitch-talk about payback...
Well he did “plea bargain”
What did he give up to get his deal?
I thought Slicky willy was his mentor. Or was he just the man who introduced Danger to Huma?
I hope it was everything he had or knew about Hillary and his wifey’s under the radar activities such as threats, bribes, spying on Trump staffers, etc-I can’t imagine a dumbass like him having anything else of interest to bargain with...
Rumor was he had accompanied WJC to the island
Maybe they all had a four - some. EEUUWwwww
My sympathies are with the poor helpless children they alleged[have to put that word] molested. Unlike those that had prayer thread after prayer thread for Hillary during the campaign, in my opinion, the World will be a better place with both Clintons gone from it.
Nothing that anyone would want!
Soon and very soon
We’re going to have several state funerals
Carters. Bush Srs , Clintons.
Two former disgraced Dems convicted on federal charges in the span of two weeks: Corinne Browne and now Weiner.
But Trump-Russia..
