Last month, while his wife was at work, and his 4-year-old son Jordan Zain slept beside him, Anthony Weiner, aka Carlos Danger, spent the evening sexting a picture of his engorged manhood to a shapely Trump supporter. Weiner got sloppy and got caught.
Recently, the world’s most famous sexter was caught again.
For months, while his wife Huma was busy administering CPR to Hillary Clinton, Weiner, with too much free time on his hands, was sending lewd messages to a school-aged girl. This time, the object of the sext addict’s on-line attention was a 15-year-old teenager from North Carolina.

Maybe this is why hilLIARy is suddenly up by 7 points this morning
People just love that her closest aides’ husband is a sex pervert.
That must be it. It was all over the news this AM- Hillary was back on top in ‘the polls’.
Then on ABC a talking head tried to show how Trump has electoral votes tied up and mysteriously had computer problems
Hillary is up 7 points because the polls are biased and dishonest.
If you are useful, the party will go to the wall for you. However, if you lose your usefulness, the party is just as quick to dispatch you. He is screwed like there is no tomorrow and, in his case, there just might not be a tomorrow.
No doubt about that.
Isn’t this a Federal crime since it’s interstate ?
Weiner is going to have lemonade and cookies with Chris Hansen.
Don’t know but should be.
“Exhibitionists are still considered sex offenders in NC and could possibly serve 3 years in prison. Also must register as such if convicted.”
That being the case, I would assume “exhibiting” to a minor might be a pretty serious crime and could involve serious time. Not to mention that register as a sex offender thing might cause him to drop from the cocktail party “A” list. At least officially. Probably be celebrated when the cameras are off.
This guy is such an embarrassment to the Dems that they will make sure he does some time. If these allegations are true, he will go to jail. Even if it’s just a short sentence for show.
I believe there were federal crimes violated here -
Under the federal child pornography laws:
Section 1470. Transfer of Obscene Material to Minors
Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly transfers obscene matter to another individual who has not attained the age of 16 years, knowing that such other individual has not attained the age of 16 years, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title.
Section 1464. Broadcasting Obscene Language
Whoever utters any obscene, indecent, or profane language by means of radio communication shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
These are found in Title 18 United States Code, Chapter 71 - Obscenity as it pertains to minors (under the age of 16)
If Weiner tried to get her to travel to meet him his violations could also fall under the Federal Mann Act -
The Mann Act is a federal statute that prohibits interstate or foreign transportation of an individual with the intention of engaging such individual in sexual activity or prostitution. The Mann Act is also known as the White Slave Traffic Act. The Act made it a felony to transport knowingly any person in interstate commerce or foreign commerce for prostitution, or any other immoral purpose. It also made it a felony to coerce an individual into such immoral acts.
Under the Mann Act, transportation for the purpose of prostitution need not be with a commercial intention to be made liable. If a person is transported for non-commercial for sexual activity, it will amount to an offense under Mann Act[i]. The Act also applies when a male takes his under-age girlfriend to a neighboring state, or a female transports an underage boy across the state line for sexual purposes.
When a person by persuasion, inducement, enticement, or coercion transports an individual through a facility in interstate or foreign commerce to engage in prostitution or in any sexual activity it will be an offense under the Act. If the individual transported is below 18 years also, it will constitute an offense. The person transported can be of U.S. origin or an alien. Any attempt to do such an offense is also punishable. Using mail or other facility in interstate or foreign commerce to facilitate the prohibited conduct will also come under the offense.
A telephone is categorized as a facility in interstate commerce. Therefore, even an intrastate telephonic conversation with an intention to commit the crime of immoral traffic will constitute an offense.
Another federal statute has made it an offense for anyone to engage in prostitution, or a variety of prostitution-related offenses, within such reasonable distance of any military or naval camp, station, fort, post, yard, base, cantonment, or training or mobilization place.
The Mann Act also deals with the issue of child pornography. Boys and girls are protected from exploitation under the Act because the Act provides protection without gender differentiation.
The Federal Act imposes a punishment of imprisonment for not more than five years in a federal prison, or fine, or both for a person found guilty under the provisions of the Act.
The constitutionality of the Mann Act has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Hoke v. United States, 227 U.S. 308 (U.S. 1913). The right to travel of an individual is not curtailed by the Mann Act. The Mann Act is used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to curtail commercialized immoral sexual activity.
Either a man or woman can be prosecuted under the Mann Act. The intention or consent of the person transported is immaterial for constituting an offense. The intention of the offender is taken as an essential element. The Mann Act is violated when a defendant crosses the state line with the requisite intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. For conviction under the Mann Act, it is not necessary that the person transported is a minor. However, illicit sexual activity should be the essential motive to constitute the offense. The Act can also been applied where the intent was to engage in a bigamous or polygamous marriage.
The transaction need not be a continuous process to constitute an offense under the Mann Act. Even a single interstate transportation knowingly to commit immoral sexual activity will amount to a violation of the Mann Act.
A person violating the Mann Act can be prosecuted under various grounds. A person can be prosecuted for the offense of causing transportation of a person in interstate commerce for certain proscribed purposes, and the offense of inducing a person to go in interstate commerce for like purposes. Both the acts are separate offenses and a person can be guilty of both offenses. This can happen even if the same parties are involved in the transaction, and the cause of action occurred on the same day, the same place, and the same transportation
“He will be dispatched to trial and then jail quickly, IMO.”
No matter what, he is still a saint among Democrats, and, just like Mr. Silver, will also remain at large with no consequences for his activities.
IMHO
You could be right. My opinion is just one separate one. It doesn’t matter and there are plenty of other opinions. It was just my two cents. Thanks!
Jail??? Jail??? This is a demo rat that we are talking about here. He will be czar of telemessaging in hellary’s cabinet earring about 1.7 million per year in salary and about 33 million per year in kickback/payola as all the corrupt clintonistas do.
“It was just my two cents.”
Mine too.
I may not be correct in my opinion, but I consider these people to be junior high school escapees, fixated at 15 years old, who are capable of the utmost adolescent sociopathy.
We no longer live in a republic, with a rule of law, but a schoolyard loaded with bullies who are backed by a larger number of bullies in the schoolyard proper.
IMHO
