Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former congressman who pleaded guilty in May to sexting with a 15-year-old girl, was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison.
Weiner, 53, also faces spending the rest of his life as a registered sex offender for his lengthy and lurid social media contacts with the North Carolina teen.
Weiner cried as he read from a written statement in Manhattan federal court, saying he was sorry and that he was “a very sick man for a very long time.”
"The crime I committed was my rock bottom," Weiner said. "I live a different and better life today."
Weiner, who must report to prison by Nov. 6, wept again after the sentence was announced.
“This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment," federal Judge Denise Cote said.
Well Carlos Danger, you're going to be serving that better life in prison for a while, where maybe you can, you know, stop being a sex offender.
Jackass. Glad to be rid of you for a while at least.
How far he has fallen since first crossing my radar seven years ago.
