Former Congressman and New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner
sent explicit photos to a woman multiple times over the past 19 months,
according to a New York Post report published late Sunday.
The report said Weiner, who is married to Hillary
Clinton's top aide, Huma Abedin, described his sexual fantasies and
masturbation in messages to the unidentified woman and called her
"literally a fantasy chick."
One of the photos Weiner sent the woman showed his underwear-clad crotch as his son Jordan slept next to him in bed.
When contacted by the Post, Weiner admitted he and
the woman "have been friends for some time," but added that their
conversations were "private ... and were always appropriate."
Weiner, 51, added that he had never met the woman in person, despite repeatedly inviting her to visit him in New York.
Weiner spent 12 years in the House of Representatives
before resigning in June 2011 after posting an explicit image of
himself on his Twitter account. At the time, he admitted that he had
"exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six
women" over the previous three years.
With Abedin's public support, Weiner entered the New
York City mayoral race in 2013. However, his campaign collapsed when a
second woman, Sydney Leathers, came forward to claim Weiner had sent her
more explicit photos while using the alias "Carlos Danger." Weiner
finished fifth in the Democratic primary with just five percent of the
vote.
Weiner's latest correspondent, who described herself
to the Post as a supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump and the National Rifle Association, has two adult children and
lives with a boyfriend who routinely travels for work.
The Post reported Sunday that Weiner was concerned
that he had repeated his 2011 mistake and posted the photo of his son
publicly.
"You do realize you can see you [sic] Weiner in that pic??" the woman messaged.
"Ooooooh ... I was scared. For half a second I thought I posted something," Weiner responded. "Stop looking at my crotch."
"Whatever. You did it on purpose," she replied,
adding, "O [sic] I see you thought you posted on your TL [public
timeline] not DM [direct messages]. S–t happens be careful."
