NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner is responding to an online report that he had another online relationship with a young woman.

According to the report, Weiner used an anonymous handle to carry on a sexually explicit online relationship with the woman for six months after resigning in disgrace from Congress. Weiner was forced from office amid a sexting scandal.

In a statement released from Weiner's office, the Democratic candidate for mayor says these issues are behind him.

"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," he wrote. "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me. I've apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgiveness. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward."

As a supporter I am saddened by this.

1. This happened AFTER he resigned from Congress?

So lame.

2. Seems like he did this several months later.

3. Problematic

This doesn't help promote a strong credibility for him this time around.

4. It is what it is.

5. I sincerely hope date and time stamps prove

this is all in his past and that any tacky affairs in the present or future are a lot more discreet.

I count it a good sign that he's stayed married.

6. From what I heard they seem to be after his resignation.

7. According to Abc news he is going to have a press conference soon.
