Quote:
n addition to the prison term, Weiner also was sentenced to three years of supervised release.
"This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment," Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York said.
In May, Weiner, 53, pleaded guilty to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor in federal court in Manhattan. The charges stem from communications that the former congressman had with a 15-year-old girl on social media sites between January and March 2016. Weiner is the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's former adviser.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of 21 to 27 months in jail, arguing Weiner's pattern of behavior "suggests a dangerous level of denial and lack of self-control warranting a meaningful incarceratory sentence." Defense attorneys asked that Weiner receive probation.

There seemed to be a certain arrogance in Weiner--which lessened my sympathy for him.

He'll probably spend his time in minimum security--like Martha Stewart did.

The guy once had had the world - a politically influential job, a beautiful wife and baby, and a bright future - and he had to throw it all away because he didn't want to get a handle on his obsessions.

In other words, Weiner’s wiener was his downfall.

I have no sympathy for paedophiles. If I had my way he'd be in prison for YEARS, but he's a friend of Hillary so he got off light.
