Government: Prison fits Weiner's sex crime on teen victim
ABC News ^ | 9/20/17 | LARRY NEUMEISTER

Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is more than a serial digital philanderer — he's a danger to the public who deserves two years in prison for encouraging a 15-year-old girl to engage in online sex acts, prosecutors told a judge Wednesday.

A Manhattan judge is scheduled to sentence the New York Democrat on Monday for transferring obscene material to a minor.

"This is not merely a 'sexting' case," prosecutors wrote. "The defendant did far more than exchange typed words on a lifeless cellphone screen with a faceless stranger. ... Transmitting obscenity to a minor to induce her to engage in sexually explicit conduct by video chat and photo — is far from mere 'sexting.' Weiner's criminal conduct was very serious, and the sentence imposed should reflect that seriousness."

Weiner, 53, said in a submission last week that he's undergoing treatment and is profoundly sorry for subjecting the North Carolina high school student to what his lawyers called his "deep sickness."

The government urged the judge to put Weiner's claims of a therapeutic awakening in a context of a man who made similar claims after embarrassing, widely publicized interactions with adult women before encountering the teenager online in January 2016. Prosecutors said his conduct "suggests a dangerous level of denial and lack of self-control."

If he skates, just like the other Progressives, one can definitely stick a fork in the Republic.

The scu&bags are in positions of power and subverting the law, the system and whatever else they can.

IMHO

The Weiner should be a big hit in prison.

And not in some minimum security country club prison either - he needs to do some hard time at Riker’s Island.

Off topic a bit, but anyone else notice, that in Hillary complaining about the late October reopening of her case by Comey, that the reason it was reopened was due to finding new evidence on Weiner’s computer?

On her book tour, i don’t think she has said anything about Weiner.

Certainly he should share some blame, as she blames everyone for her problems. Why no mention of how Weiner is arguably a key person responsible for her case being reopened???
