Former Rep. Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in federal prison for sexting with a minor.
In addition to the prison term, Weiner also was sentenced to three years of supervised release.
Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York stated that Weiner's sentence carried more importance because of his previous political career.
"Because of the defendant's notoriety, there is intense interest in the defendant's plea and sentence," Cote said in court. "It could make a difference in lives and is a very significant part of this sentence."
She added, "This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment."
Weiner cried when the sentence was handed down.
Let's face it, this guy is scum.
Not only is he a pig, but his extracurricular activities played a large part in helping Donald Trump win the White House.
No sexting with children, would have meant no investigation, and no last minute reopening of the Hillary Clinton email case based on what was found on Weiner's laptop.
For that alone he deserves a much longer prison sentence than this.
