This is an unfortunate case indeed. Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) simply can’t help himself… from the Associated Press:
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.
If Weiner were anyone else other than Weiner… would the charges be different? An open and rhetorical question, to be sure.
Weiner is clearly a troubled and predatory man.
