Anthony Weiner sexting sentencing hearing starts

A prosecutor has urged a judge in New York City to sentence Anthony Weiner to a significant prison sentence to end his “tragic cycle” of sexting.

Assistant US Attorney Amanda Kramer tells a Manhattan federal court judge that Weiner on three occasions in 2016 asked a 15-year-old girl to display her naked body online and to perform for him.

The prosecutor notes that sexting had already ruined Weiner’s congressional career and spoiled his run for mayor of New York City before he began interacting with the teenager.

Kramer says Weiner should go to prison for 21 to 27 months.
