Ex-US congressman Weiner caught red-handed again
Former US Representative Anthony Weiner is once again under the spotlight for sending lewd messages and images to a woman on the Internet more than a year after a similar conduct cost him his job in Congress.
Weiner, who is running for mayor of New York City and has emerged as the top candidate, apologized on Tuesday for the “wrong and hurtful” behavior, Politico reported.
A gossip website which has published the pictures and texts, asserted this week that Weiner continued an online relationship from July until November 2012 with a woman who was not named.
The website’s post gives exchanges between Weiner and the person described as “a young female girl” who, the site says, turned 22 last summer when the relationship started.
Weiner, 48, used the name "Carlos Danger" to contact the woman on Facebook and establish an online relationship with her.
The website’s timing of the relationship could mean that the former senator was engaged in such misconduct even after his resignation.
However, his statement asserted that the texts and images are the ones from the previous scandal.
“I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have. As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress,” the former Democratic congressman’s statement read.
