Weiner Faces Sexting Claim From Girl, but He Calls It a Hoax
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Sep 21, 2016, 8:29 PM ET
Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner has acknowledged he communicated online with a girl who accused him of sending sexually explicit messages, but he said he's also been the subject of a hoax.
An online news outlet, DailyMail.com, on Wednesday published an interview with the 15-year-old girl, who said the online text and video exchanges, including Skype chats in which Weiner asked her to undress and touch herself, went on for several months this year.
The Daily Mail also published screen grabs of texts provided by the girl, whose identity it didn't disclose.

The girl told the Daily Mail she told her father and a teacher about the relationship last spring.
Weiner gave The Associated Press an email, purportedly written by the girl to her teacher, in which she recanted her story.

He is clearly an addict. He exhibits all the classic behaviors, right down to the bullshit. In his fucked up head he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. He will only use the people that care about him. Then they will stop caring. Then he'll be out on the street.

Just hope he gets help, although I'm sure it's too late to save his marriage. What a sad legacy.

If they're full of shit he can absolutely own them. If he doesn't file a suit against them consider it an admission of guilt.

Guy needs a little jail and a whole lot of therapy.
