Gee whiz! The justice system sure does take it's time, but Anthony Weiner is finally getting what's coming to him.
Quote:NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on Anthony Weiner's sentencing (all times local):
10:55 a.m.
Anthony Weiner must report to prison by Nov. 6 to begin serving his 21-month sentence for sexting with a 15-year-old girl.
As his sentence was announced Monday, the former Democratic congressman from New York dropped his head into his hand and wept, then stared straight ahead. After the hearing ended and Judge Denise Cote left the bench, he sat in his seat for several minutes, continuing to cry.
Weiner was also fined $10,000. After his sentence is served, he must undergo internet monitoring and must have no contact with his victim. He must also enroll in a sex-offender treatment program.
Before announcing the sentence, Cote said there was "no evidence of deviant interest in teenagers or minors" on Weiner's part. She also said he is finally receiving effective treatment for what she said has been described as "sexual hyperactivity."

Anthony Weiner has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with a 15-year-old girl in a case that may have cost Hillary Clinton's the presidency.
The former Democratic congressman from New York had faced up to 27 months in prison on Monday after his guilty plea to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors say he broke the law by having illicit contact with a 15-year-old girl using Skype and Snapchat.
Weiner's sexting habit destroyed his career in Congress, his campaign for mayor and his marriage to Huma Abedin, a former aide to Clinton.
It also became an issue in the closing days of 2016 presidential election when then FBI Director James Comey cited emails discovered on a laptop used by Weiner to justify reopening the probe of Clinton's private computer server.

Anthony Weiner called his crime his "rock bottom" as he spoke just before a judge in New York City sentences him for his sexting crime.
Weiner fought back tears and occasionally cried Monday as he read from a written statement on a page he held in front of him in Manhattan federal court. He said he was "a very sick man for a very long time." He asked to be spared from prison.
The Democrat's lawyer, Arlo Devlin-Brown, had asked that Weiner serve no prison time. A prosecutor recommended he serve between 21 months and 27 months in prison.

10:15 a.m.
A prosecutor has urged a judge in New York City to sentence Anthony Weiner to a significant prison sentence to end his "tragic cycle" of sexting.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Kramer told a Manhattan federal court judge Tuesday that Weiner on three occasions in 2016 asked a 15-year-old girl to display her naked body online and to perform for him.
The prosecutor noted that sexting had already ruined Weiner's congressional career and spoiled his run for mayor of New York City before he began interacting with the teenager.
Kramer said Weiner should go to prison for between 21 months and 27 months.

The sentencing hearing for Anthony Weiner has begun in a New York City courtroom where he will learn his fate in a sexting scandal that influenced last year's presidential campaign.
The Democrat, wearing his wedding ring, seemed pensive just before the hearing before federal Judge Denise Cote began. He wore a blue suit and green tie. His parents were in the courtroom but not his wife, Huma Abedin. They are currently going through divorce proceedings.
The former New York congressman faces up to 27 months in prison on Monday after he pleaded guilty to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors say he broke the law by having illicit contact with a 15-year-old girl using Skype and Snapchat.

Oh my, he cried. Should we feel sorry for him and let him go?
NO!!!
Actually, I don't think he got enough time for this.
The question I have is how far would he of gone if he had not got caught, and how many other children would he of used, or has he used other children and not got caught---- yet

I'm willing to bet he's been at this for some time previously; he was a member of Congress. They think even if they do get caught all they'll get is a slap on the wrist and sent on their way, just like his lawyer requested.
He's probably been to a few of those under-age sex parties with Bill Clinton, truth be known.
I hope this scares the holy crap out of the rest of them.
I wonder if he'll wake up dead because he knows things on the Clintons, and they might be afraid he'll sing to get his time cut short?
If he does, we'll know where to look, right?

I agree, there's always a sacrifice to be made, even if they think they're too high to beat a rap.
I had to laugh at... '...Before announcing the sentence, Cote said there was "no evidence of deviant interest in teenagers or minors" on Weiner's part. She also said he is finally receiving effective treatment for what she said has been described as "sexual hyperactivity."...'
If he has no deviant interest in kids, then why post a picture of his dick to a kid?!

He was just do like they all do these days ...... sending a selfie ......
Better to reign in hell ....
than serve in heaven .....
I think he's just the fall guy to show the masses that politicians will be punished if caught in the kiddie jar. There are a lot more out there at higher levels who will never see a court room.

IMO
I agree, you may be right.
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see certain ones brought to their knees crying like a baby, just like Weiner.
But, I won't hold my breath.

Pervo Update:
Quote:Where's Weiner? Anthony meets up with mystery man for over an hour at New York City hotel one day after being sentenced to 21 months in prison.
'Anthony Weiner did not let his impending prison sentence get him down on Tuesday as he spent the afternoon out and about in New York City.
The disgraced politician was spotted leaving his Manhattan apartment around noon on Tuesday and heading uptown, where he met up with a mystery man at his midtown hotel. The pair spent a little over an hour inside before leaving the hotel together, with Weiner hopping on the subway to head back home.
Weiner was outfitted in the same khaki shorts, blue basketball sneakers and orange Mets cap he wore one day prior, changing only his shirt.
Weiner did his best to stay incognito as he rushed out of his house and to the Union Square subway station on Tuesday. He then hopped on a train like the other commuters before getting off in Times Square and walking to a nearby hotel.
He entered the establishment alone, and then left with the mystery man an hour later, with the two speaking briefly outside before they parted ways.
Once he arrived back home, estranged wife Huma made her way out of the building. The top aide to Hillary Clinton has agreed to let Weiner stay in their apartment before her reports to prison next month. The two did spend some time together on Tuesday as they drove son Jordan, 5, to school, with Weiner lurking inside the family car while Huma brought the boy to class.
On Monday, a judge ordered Weiner to serve 21 months in prison for having illicit contact with a 15-year-old girl using Skype and Snapchat, a story that DailyMail.com broke last September.
The former Democratic congressman from New York had faced up to 27 months behind bars after his guilty plea to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor. Weiner's sexting habit destroyed his career in Congress, his campaign for mayor and his marriage to Adedin.
It also became an issue in the closing days of 2016 presidential election when then FBI Director James Comey cited emails discovered on a laptop used by Weiner to justify reopening the probe of Clinton's private computer server.
Weiner called his crime his 'rock bottom' as he spoke just before a judge in New York City sentences him for his sexting crime. Weiner fought back tears and occasionally cried Monday as he read from a written statement on a page he held in front of him in federal court.

Hell no, we'd be in jail serving our time until the prison bed opened up! This is outrageous! He's probably planning his escape out of the country after faking his death.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
