U.S. Seeks Up to 27 Months in Prison for Ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner

(Reuters) — U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday sought a prison sentence of 21 to 27 months for former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner, who admitted to sending sexually explicit messages to a teenage girl in a "sexting" scandal that played a role in last year’s U.S. presidential election.

"Weiner, a grown man, a father, and a former lawmaker, willfully and knowingly asked a 15-year-old girl to display her body and engage in sexually explicit conduct for him online," prosecutors said in a filing in Manhattan federal court. "Such conduct warrants a meaningful sentence of incarceration."

A lawyer for Weiner, who is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote next Monday, could not immediately be reached for comment.

In a court filing last week, Weiner’s lawyers asked that he be sentenced to probation with no prison time, saying he acted out of the "depths of an uncontrolled sickness" for which he was now being treated.

Uncontrolled sickness my a**.

[Qwackertoo]

Maybe he should make a deal and spill all the dirt on Hillary and Huma.

[ColdOne]

Yep...there is no cure for what he has. Hasn’t he been to re-hab once before? The last time he got caught? Yes he was...pics of him riding a horse at the re-hab place was on the net then.

I fell sorry for the person who had to take his mugshot. “Mr. Weiner, for the 100th time it’s supposed to be your face.”

[eyeamok]

Yep...there is no cure for what he has”

Oh yes there is, and if he survives the execution he should be set free.

[SaveFerris]

Have them both spill the beans about Hillary.

That would be something else.

[SaveFerris]

[Sacajaweau]

He probably enjoyed the horse riding.

[Cobra64]

Wiener should go to federal prison and put in with the general population. His wiener will be gone... or worse, by sundown.

[The Toll]

He is the prototype Disney Executive.

[shanover]

He’s lucky the girl’s father was not someone I know. The Wiener would be eating his wiener and then be pushing daisies.

[Rebelbase]

I feel sorry for the horse.

[ex91B10]

But he had a laptop that he may be able to use in trade..

[TexasTransplant]

Where is the “ONLY”

[vette6387]

“Uncontrolled sickness my a**.”

Yeah, it’s called “Beingcaughtitis!” Oh well, at least in prison he won’t have to worry about his schmeckel, but he will need to protect his culo!

[AmusedBystander]

Trump should pardon him just to piss every one off.

[Ciexyz]

O how the mighty have fallen.

[Guardian Sebastian]

I kinda forgot about that. He did get in trouble before for sending pics of his stuff to women claiming that someone hacked his cell phone. I think it was about the time he was running for mayor of New York if I remember correctly.
