Anthony Weiner sexting scandals
American politician Anthony Weiner, former member of the United States House of Representatives from New York City, was involved in two sexual scandals related to sexting, or sending explicit sexual material by cell phone. The first, sometimes dubbed Weinergate, led to his resignation as a congressman in 2011. The second, during his attempt to return to politics as candidate for mayor of New York City, involved three women Weiner admitted having sexted after further explicit pictures were published in July 2013.〔
The first scandal began when Democratic U.S. Congressman Weiner used the social media website Twitter to send a link to a sexually suggestive picture〔〔〔〔 to a 21-year-old woman from Seattle, Washington.〔〔 After several days of denying media reports that he had posted the image, he admitted to having sent a link to the photo, and also other sexually explicit photos and messages to women both before and during his marriage. He denied ever having met, or having had a physical relationship with any of the women.〔 On June 16, 2011, Weiner announced his intention to resign from Congress with his official resignation occurring on June 23, 2011.〔On May 27, 2011, using his public Twitter account, Weiner sent a link to a photo on yfrog〔〔 of his erect penis concealed by boxer briefs to a 21-year-old female college student from Seattle, Washington, who was "following" his posts on the social media website.〔 Though the link was quickly removed from Weiner's Twitter account, screen shots of Weiner’s original message and of the photo were captured by a user identified as "Dan Wolfe" on Twitter and subsequently sent to blogger Andrew Breitbart who published them on his BigGovernment website the following day.
On June 1, Weiner gave a series of interviews in which he denied sending the photo and suggested that someone, perhaps a political opponent, had hacked into his accounts and published the photo.〔 Weiner also said he could not say "with certitude" that the photo was not of him. He suggested that the image might be doctored, saying, "Maybe it did start being a photo of mine and now looks something different or maybe it is from another account."〔〔〔 He did not ask the FBI or U.S. Capitol Police to investigate the incident〔 but said he had retained a private security firm to look into this matter because he felt it was a prank, not a crime.〔 Several bloggers accused Wolfe and Breitbart of planting the photo and message as part of a scheme to defame Weiner.〔(The Man Behind Weiner's Resignation ); ''National Journal''; Amanda Muñoz-Temple; June 16, 2011〕
According to the ''New York Times'', evidence later revealed that a group of self-described conservatives〔 had been monitoring Weiner's communications with women for at least three months. Two false identities of underage girls had been created by unknown parties to solicit communication with Weiner and the women he was contacting. Bloggers reported a tweet made in April by a 17-year-old Delaware girl in which she exclaimed, "Seriously talking to Representative Weiner from New York right now! Like is my life real?" In early June, Fox News Channel, whose reporter "happened to be there when the cops showed up", reported that police went to the girl's house to question her and her parents. The police, who had been "made aware of an alleged contact" between Weiner and the girl, also reviewed content on her computer. Weiner confirmed having communicated with the girl, but denied sending any inappropriate messages. The family of the girl stated the contact was "not salacious or in any manner inappropriate". The police did not find anything wrong in Weiner's communications with the girl.〔(Weiner’s 17-year-old Twitter contact responds ); CNN; June 12, 2011〕
